Yes, one can be fooled. Very fruity and smoky at the same time -. A very surprising taste for rum He goes even more in the tobacco or leather direction is definitely very aromatic and perfectly round. The winemaker at Bacardi has delivered with this eight year old a true masterpiece; mainly because there is so under waits for Bacardi rum and cocktail connoisseurs has under, as I said, not the best reputation. And so I recommend all Rumfreunden which otherwise turn up their noses at Bacardi, this rum as a "sipper": He is pure really very interesting and can convince. I have been drinking some 10- and 12-year-old rum, which had less character, body and soul. Of course, it acts therefore also in cocktails excellent, even for example in a fruity-sweet "Havana Sail" he comes up against the thick Maracujasaft.
2 oz passion fruit juice
1 oz Bacardi Reserva 8 Años Superior
1/2 oz Grenadine
The very nice presentation in an elegant bottle completes the whole. And if I now already Bacardi drink while get into ecstasy, who knows, maybe one day I'll even Jim Beam fan?
As with all my reviews spirits is my intention: to drink no more, but better.
