Produced in Puerto Rico, Bacardí Reserva Ocho Rum Rye Cask Finish is aged for 8 to 12 years in American oak bourbon barrels and then finished in Kentucky rye casks for two months.
The slightly overproof rum warms on the finish, ultimately finding a nice balance of fruit and wood, albeit with a mildly medicinal overtone that stands as the only soft spot in one of Bacardi’s finest releases in years.
