Review: Bacardi 8 Anos Rum
Bacardi 8 Anos Rum was originally created in 1862. It was the exclusive party rum of the Bacardi family for over 130 years, and still today it only exists in very limited stock. The Bacardi Company got its start when Don Facundo Bacardi Masso purchased a distillery in 1862 in Cuba for 3500 pesos. They continued producing rum in Cuba until 1960 when their distillery was seized as part of the Cuban Revolution. Since then they have been distilling their rum in Puerto Rico.

After distilling, the spirit is aged for a minimum 8 years in oak barrels, and then blended by their Master Blender. Read more
