Brugal 1888

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

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

Having tried and rated a bottle of 1888 Ron Gran Reserva Familiar I saw this one as a new product at my local store and thought I would try it. After looking it up on their website I think this is the new standard 1888 since the old bottle is not listed. It says aged up to 14 years and double aged in bourbon and sherry casks. The aroma is very subtle and inviting. The flavor is very heavy with molasses and is quite smooth. It reminds me a great deal of Papa’s Pilar 24. Overall a nice offering if you like sweetened rum, it not too complex but a very good choice for $40.

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.
