First created in 1862 Reserva Ocho was kept entirely by the Bacardí family for seven generations. Now they’re giving you the chance to sample the delights.
Few have had an opportunity to taste Reserva Ocho 8 Year Old Rare Gold Rum until now. One of the oldest private rum blends on the planet it has been baked and concentrated in the Caribbean sun for almost a decade imparting rich prune dried apricot nutmeg runny honey spiced with vanilla cinnamon and clove and ripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple with a caramelised barbequed edge. Smooth round and enormously pleasing.
With its turbulent history and instantly recognisable bat logo placed on the bottle by Doña Amalia Bacardí as a symbol of good fortune Bacardí is a rum legend. Between distillations the family fought for Cuba’s freedom from Spanish rule resulting in Emilio Bacardí Moreau becoming the first freely-elected Mayor of Santiago de Cuba. When the US introduced prohibition Bacardí invited Americans to huge parties where Cuban rhythm good times and their rum flowed freely cementing the brand’s worldwide fame. However in 1960 Fidel Castro confiscated Bacardí’s assets and the family fled into exile. The Cuban spirit lives on still under the same family lineage still with the same party vibe but now based in Puerto Rico.
