Brugal 1888

I really like this rum. We toured the factory in the Dominican a while back and was impressed with what we saw. The taste was great, the after taste was as good or better than most any rum we have had,. When I can find this rum, I always pick up a bottle or two

Wonderfully oaky flavor. A bit of a bite straight, but still pleasant. Very fine mixed, but no need to waste it in that fashion.

I would like this more except that I am more into smoother and sweeter rums which is not everyone's preference. If you want a good sipper on the dryer side, you will have it higher up than I do.

dobrý nasládlý a vyvážený rum na běžné pití, hezká vůně

This is the best tasting rum I have ever tried. Really worth the purchase.

For the price I would have hopped that this rum was better

Ve vůni příjemný, v chutí částečně sherry, sice není nasládlý typu Oliver, ale i tak zajímavý

Decent sipping rum. Nose is pleasant once it airs, solid flavor to sip. Not necessarily the best thing out there, but at the same time something worth sipping.

Gut ausgeglichener Rum, fruchtig mit Duft von Rosinen und etwas Holz in der Nase.
Auf der Zunge etwas süss mit Vanille und Eiche dann ein würziger Abgang.

You can order this at a good bar and sip on it. It does the job. It has a nice presentation of toffee and woody flavors. Unfortunately it is simply too dry to be considered in the top echelons of rum sipping goodness. It’s by no means a bad choice, but there are better rums in the category for the price.

A bit pricier than other more complex rums or those with dimension. Good in general, but not great. Not a ton of dimension and a tad bit drier for an aged option, but works well neat or with a single cube of ice. Glad i tried it, but it is not on the go to list. ymmv

Smak: delikatny posmak alkoholu, wyczuwalna nuta toffi i karmelu, a takze wędzonego drewna
Finisz: długi i bardzo aromatyczny, wyczuwalny dąb
Zapach: przyjemny, nie za mocny, tofii i dąb
Kolor: ciemno brązowy
Butelka: Fajnie stylizowana i zdobiona zlotymi elementami.

Esperaba más, es muy equilibrado, tiene fuerza pero se bebe fácil, tiene dulzor pero no empalaga, me gusta pero no es mi preferido.

Not as sweet as other rums with a little more burn. If you're coming straight from a bourbon drinker's perspective, this might be an easy transition. I quite enjoyed the flavors and think it's a great rum, but I personally prefer a little sweetness to my rums. So rather than getting this again, I'd probably just get some bourbon or whiskey.

Ok, not bad but a little bit far from what i was expected. Sure not to be mixed but you need ice. Nice color. Not to strong nose. The body was not too sweet and dry. The aftertaste was a mix of alcohol and spicy.

A lot of people are rating this high then me. So I need to try again to see what I am missing. This had oak, grass and earthy tones.

i realy enjoys this one well balance a little bit to dry but for all a great experience

Oncteux sans être sirupeux, ce rum de la Rep Dom se laisse decouvrir subtilement.

Very nice sipper, always have a bottle on hand!!!!!

A fantastic rum.
Try the Extra Viejo as well and the VX.A
All excellent, but this is my favorite so far.
The higher grades are not available in the USA, and quite expensive

Not that much sweetened. Nice earthly scent but the taste... Its similar to that anti-mosquito plug-in repelents - perfumy taste that hides a chemical disaster. Leave this one to teenagers and their experiments. For a similar price buy yourself Mount Gay XO. Or Doorlys etc. In short proper rums, that taste like rums. After tasting this next to MG XO, I was really close to throwing up.

Chocolate milk smell, soft taste, it's a bit nummy, dark tones, tobacco, bitter

I enjoy this good aroma rum. Body of this rum is a little thin. But smooth, not too sweet.
Never get tired.

An old batch of this series. Double-distilled and matured in American oak before a second maturation period in sherry casks.

N- Caramel and stewed fruits, herbal tea with layer of earthiness to keep it authentic. Soft breezy oak, and floral, again touch of feint from this multiple distilled spirits. White raisin, sour plum and dried fruit intertwined. (84/18)

P- Thin body, sweet kiwi, young banana and oak smokes, Easy on palate with touch of dusty oak, which is not a bad thing in this case. (83/18)

F- Medium, plums, clean oak with semi dry finish, touch of bitter sweet herbs. (85/19)

B/B- 84/18, having same issue to term with the low strength that restricted any profound flavours of the rum to come thru.
