Bacardí Reserva Ocho Review
From the world’s best-known rum brand, this affordable 8-year-old expression steps up to the plate for cocktails and sipping occasions. Delicate tropical fruit aromas lead to decadent vanilla and demerara syrup notes on the palate, before a crack of black pepper signs off the finish. Try this in your next Old Fashioned.
