Brugal 1888

My first rum from Dom. Rep. today :-). >Age is a secret, with sherry cask finish.
Nose : alcoholically, oak, smoke
Palate : oak in front, dark chocolate, an initial little sweetness gives way to bitterness. Hmm, not really tasteful. Not really nice. I miss the fruit from the sherry cask finish.
Put an ice cube in the glass. Caramell an honey are coming through. A little sweeter now and bettter than neat.
Finish : medium, salty and sweet notes from caramell and honey at once.
Conclusion : I don't konw if I should like him. Price round 30 Euro is okay but the taste is a little special and the finish doesn't scream loudly for another sip.

Насочено е към любителите на уиски. Не е толкова сладко, като други ромове, а е и отлежало в любимите ми шери бъчви.

Let's start off with the obvious, this is not a sweet run by any means and as others have posted below this follows more the characteristics of a Spanish or Cuban rum. This is an easy zipper with notes of cocoa powder and toasted tobacco, while there are characteristics of sweetness there, they present more as flavor notes less so leading players. I enjoyed sipping this over ice during a meal less so after one as this is not a dessert.

Nose is caramel and you get it on the tongue…then oaky and dry within the sweetness.

Coke nose, rancid taste, bitter finish, note not a fan of bitters in general or old fashioneds or dominican rum in general so add 2 pts if you are

Good, not great. I may be incredibly biased on this one because when I tried it I was tasting it next to the Brugal Leyenda, which is not a fair comparison. Great mixing rum, but not worth the price tag over the Extra Viejo.

i am honestly a little bit disappointed in this rum its very light to taste easy to drink a little sweet has an experience rum drinker I won't buy it again but for people who are beginners it would be a fantastic rum since its very easy to drink

This is a little more on the dry side than I normally like. Soft on the tongue, oaky with some tannin. Slightly smooth and good neat or on the rocks.

Great flavor, not too sweet, balanced. Great neat, or on a coconut water ice cube, or a rum old fashioned. It would benefit from bottling at a higher proof. Brugal rum is great 👍.

Smooth and particular taste... It's gonna make our evening. Nice!
