Review Summary:
A premium expression from the top-selling rum brand in the Caribbean, Brugal 1888 advances the house style: “clean, dry and woody,” according to 5th-generation Maestro Ronero, Gustavo Ortega Zeller Brugal. Distilled from pure Dominican molasses and double-aged in both bourbon and sherry casks, Brugal’s richest offering noses banana bread, tobacco, saddle, candied orange and holiday spices. It’s rich but playful on the palate, flitting back and forth between tropical fruit, vanilla and caramel and a defining woody dryness.
