Schöne Bernsteinfarbe.
Im Geruch absolut unauffällig, ein wenig Karamell mit ganz wenig Alkohol.
Im Geschmack Vanille Karamell/ brauner Zucker im Abgang ein wenig Süße, ein wenig Salzig und Alkohol mit Holznote.
Gefälliger, guter Rum, kann man genießen,
aber nichts was einem vom Hocker wirft.
Good burn to start. Dry, not sweet. Not very complex.
Here we have a complex Rum that IMO should satisfy even the "Rum Snobs".
It is smooth but with some heat. Mildly sweet with notes of dried fruit, mild spices and brown sugar. Nice sipper. Beautiful presentation in and outside of the bottle. A definite must try. 😉
Its one of less typical tasting rums. Dark and rich colour suggests sweetness but it is really dry. Aroma reminds me of rasins and caramel. The only taste I am able to name is that of well aged alcohol store in wooden barells. Overall its nice colour and smell in combination with neutral taste make it ideal for drinkers of cognac and whiskey but not for rum lovers who would like to see rum-like taste.
I'm generally not a huge fan of Brugal rums, but decided to buy a bottle of one of the more expensive ones to see what it can offer. I'm quite impressed with this rum, but it's definitely not a drinking rum. It bares the signature Brugal taste, but has way more depth and elegance. The colour and the smell is fantastic, but the taste itself is somewhat behind. Not too spicy, quite smokey, it's a great rum for sitting down and relaxing / thinking over stuff. It lacks true character so if your looking for a really memorable or unique taste this is not your rum. I still have the original bottle and taste it from time-to-time in small quantities. A nice addition to any collection, but nothing too crazy.
I get a light caramel smell with lots of wood, tastes more like whiskey then Rum to me. Not bad flavour wise but i prefer leyenda every day.
Great nose on a reddish bronze rum - oak, fruit and spice. On the palate, every bit as lovely. Oak out front in the palate with caramel, light fruit and spice joining in. Almost too easy to drink. At this price point, this is a steal.
This one is a little deceptive, since on the nose you think you are about to taste something sweeter than it is. I got oak, a bit of caramel and fruit and molasses on the nose. I didn't get any caramel on the taste, but the other flavours were there.
On the tongue, I got a bit of a harsher alcohol taste than I was expecting and a medium dryness - there is some sweetness but it's more on the aftertaste, which is interesting. I think it may benefit from opening up in the glass a little, as it was one that I found got more and more enjoyable as I got down the glass. An initial almost harshness mellowed out to a rounder and deeper flavour. The rum has a very good and very strong aftertaste - a warming subtle hint of stewed fruit and the lingering flavour of enjoyable oaky molasses.
It's almost as if the rum does a round trip - smelling rounder and sweeter, feeling dryer and stronger on the tongue and then lingering as a rounded and sweeter aftertaste.
Got to be a winner!
This is young drink, not so rich and heavy but soft

Brugal 1888 Gran Reserva Familiar
Origine : République Dominicaine
40 %
750ml
Nez : Vanille, caramel, cannelle
Bouche : Vanille, caramel, bois brûlé
Un goût trop simpliste pour un rhum ayant passé du temps en fût de bourbon et xérès. Les notes de xérès sont presque inexistantes. Pas mauvais mais décevant.
