Barbancourt 8 and 15 year old

I'd love to hear some comments comparing the Barbancourt 8 or five star and their 15 year old rum. When I do rum tasting for groups I usually taste both of these and it isn't uncommon for people to say they prefer the younger rum which brings me back to one of my early conclusions that you have to drink the rum and not just read the label to discern what you really like to drink. And all this doesn't even consider the difference in price.

I like Barbancourt 15 a lot. That being said, its the only Barbancourt in my collection -- but I have tasted the 8. I think the 15 is smokier, the 8 may be a bit smoother. But as I like smoky, I might be in the minority.
