Brugal 1888

The best I found in our trip to dr...dryer, meatier, mature, complex...no extra sugar, a fine tipple

Brugal 1888 is Nice and smooth rum .
Complex, with the right balance between dry and sweet.

Site:1888 is first matured in hand-picked ex bourbon American oak casks, then in European oak, first-fill sherry casks.

This blend of two worlds gives 1888 a complex yet smooth flavour profile.

Drink this at room temp! Great sipping rum.

Ce rhum est un bon rhum de Mélasse qui se boit facilement.toutefois il lui manque quelque chose pour en etre fan.En effet les notes toffee et de gout sherry sont là .mais il manque de complexité et de longueur.A 36e a grauonline c est une bouteille interessante mais je prefere à ce prix un pasador de oro xo ou un millonario 15 ans qui ont un plus et surtout un presidente 19 ou 23 a 37e et 40e a grauonline.
La bouteille est par contre belle et fera un beau cadeau.

First time I had Brugal Extra Dry, I vowed never to drink a Dominican rum every again in life. I was so disappointed until I had Brugal 1888. I was at Rumfest in Miami a few years ago, when I tried Brugal 1888 for the first time. I had it on the rocks and in a simple daiquiri. Surprisingly it was delicious. It still had those extra dry notes, but it is more complex then it's mediocre / Bacardi like little brother, that white Brugal liquor. I like it in a daiquiri, but it would also be good in a mixed drink, just don't over work it.

Now for the price, it costs about $50 in New York, that's about $5-10 more than Ron Zacapa. I'm not sure if that 10-20% difference makes sense but even in Dominican Republic it is expensive. Bite the bullet, buy 1888 as soon as possible, because every time I turn around, it's winning a rum award and pushing up the price a buck or two here and there.

Agree that this is dry, smooth and complex. It struck me as mildly woody with a very slight smoky flavor.

Nose: Vanilla, Caramel, very mild
Body: Pleasant and smooth with caramel tones, not so over-sweetened.
Tail: Balanced, mild, nicely,slowly developing
Bottle: under-average for a Rum of this age

I like this one, first Brugal which Ive had, but definitely an interesting one! I'm gonna have a bottle of this one

The rum is a little dry, with bitter tones, a lot of spices in the smell and you nose the casks where it matured. The rum is smooth and soft, really a good first experience with a higher-grade (older) Brugal.

Good rum to take with perrier water or only with ice,

En rigtig god rom, og sherry smagen fornægter sig ikke. Lidt for whiskyagtig til det kan blive til mere end et 8 tal.
