What I like about the whole Brugal lineup is that they are drier than the average rum.1888 takes a dry Rum and finishes it in Macallan Sherry Casks. The result is a well balanced Rum that I could Sip on all night!

This is some great stuff. It’s a whiskey drinkers rum. It has great aromas on the nose. At first sip I loved it . It’s dry but sweet and has long whiskey finish. Not much burn but keeps you warm. After trying several Dominican rums this is at the top of my list next to Leyenda. This rum is so good a must have in collection!

Excellent rum, the 1888 is by far my favorite from Brugal, great taste and you can taste a bit of that earthy flavor tipical of Brugal. If you see one of this grab it, definately worth having in your collection.

I didn’t love this initially, but I didn’t hate it either. And then for the second round I had another. And then another. Long story short...this is a very easy drinker. Nothing that stands out about to me, but nothing offensive either. Drank this with a few ice cubes each time, and it was a nice compliment to the cigars down in Punta Cana.

I don't know what it is about this rum, but I like it. I taste what I think is the lingering flavor of some kind of port barrel. As well as, smooth crisp fruits vanilla and toffee that dance perfectly together. I believe they are in the works of changing the packaging because the most recent shipment to our store has been relabeled and re-bottled into a shorter bottle with a black wax top. Haven't gotten the chance to open that one yet, but when I do I will let you know what I think.

I was surprised the sharp start even i roll it in a glass for 10 min at least, worming the glass in hand, but the end is nice,flavours of oak,fruits and vanilla. I like also its dry not sweet rum. I think i need time to figure out the optimal its breathing period before drinking it. Edited later after 3rd bottle. I grew fond of it more, its well rounded and it has rich flavour although still dry and smooth.

40% ABV. Playful nose. Wood, hint of caramel and vanilla. Palate: dry, with notes of oak, tobacco, earth, and vanilla. Moderately astringent. An impressive amount of flavor for such a low-proof rum, despite my inability to pick out flavors. Do I detect a blended rum? Finish is medium-long, but slightly bitter.

I'm very impressed with this one—especially after my recent disappointment with the Flor de Caña 12. This one is waaaay better. Reminds me in some ways of certain Foursquare offerings. Definitely recommended as a simple sipper, without (I suspect) additives or sweeteners, or a top-notch mixer.

Une note qui n'a pas arrêté de dégringoler au fur et à mesure des gorgées. Ça sent bon le cacao et le bois humide un matin de rosée, ça goute le rhum classique équilibré ni trop sucré ni trop alcoolisé mais ça laisse un gout... bwarf ! On ne retient que la fin de bouche pâteuse et desséchée. Un début prometteur, un milieu comme on l'attend mais une fin épouvantable : la version Tim Burton de la Planète des Singes.

This rum was tasted at our summer rum tastings. Each of us brought a guest of honor, so this was one of the guest of honors choice. Brugal has an elegant aroma of banana and vanilla. The complexity of this rum beginning at the smell all the way until after the silk liquid finishes on the tongue is out of this world. I have to say this rum is one of my favorites to simply drink night in and night out. Highly recommended.
