Brugal 1888 Rum
(0.75l, 40%)
The Rum for Whisky lovers.
Don Andres Brugal Montaner launched Brugal in 1888 to break away from the traditional styles of the time and to create a distinctly different Rum. Apparently there are two things that set Brugal apart from others. First, the method of distillation, which removes much of what other Rums leave in. The spirit is thus cleaner, dryer and less sweet. Secondly, every drop of Brugal is cask-aged, using the same wood policy as the World’s best single malt Scotch Whiskies.
Brugal 1888 Rum is distilled for dryness - Brugal’s distillation removes many of the heavy alcohols that give other Rums their sweetness. Distilled from fermented molasses, this is a blend of Rums aged from 5 to 14 years in American white oak casks, and finish matured in first-fill Sherry oak casks.

Ratings & Reviews
Jennifer,
Just good! Whether on it’s on it’s own or mixed.
MIGUEL,
Good rum, not too sweet, not to oaky. Easy to drink or mix but not sure if I would buy another bottle because there are so many better Rums out there that I like. Very good rum though.
Doug,
I think this is a good rum with a nice depth and complexity. It is a bit heavy on the back side with respect to the alcohol burn, but has a nice caramelly flavor on the front side and then a vanilla follows the burn for a nice finish. As rums are not my usual go-to, I don't have a large pool to compare against, but it is good neat, which has to mean something, right?
Cherie,
This was my choice in first quarter order...please restock this as I wish to reorder in January.
The rum is extremely rich in complex mouth and nose experiences. Many of my favorite ingredients. I'll need to find another way to order this if unavailable through you.
Neat or mixed... it's superb !
Angela,
good sipping rum. a little burn on the finish, but good overall
