Brugal 1888 commemorates the year when Andres Brugal founded the Dominican Republic's number one brand of rum. What distinguishes Brugal 1888 from any other rum is the fact that it's finished or aged, a second time in Sherry oak barrels imported from Spain, a deviation from their typical method of aging rum in American oak barrels used to make Bourbon.
- Distilled for Dryness: Brugal’s distillation removes many of the heavy alcohols that give other rums their sweetness, resulting in a clean, dry, and smooth spirit.
- Aged for Smoothness: Double-wood aged for 6-8 years in White American Oak Casks, followed by 2-4 years in first-filled Spanish Sherry Oak Casks that are hand-selected by the Master of wood for the world’s finest Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
- More evocative of single malt than a sweet sipping rum, people often call it “The Rum for Whisky lovers”.
TASTING NOTES:
Color: The light enhances its dark amber hues and bright, clean color.
Nose: Fascinatingly complex, with spiced nuances, hints of chocolate, roasted coffee, cinnamon, and other dried fruits.
Palate: On the palate, pleasant, smooth, and full-bodied. Its finish has nuances of toffee caramel, wood, and licorice.
