Brugal Añejo

sometimes i am in perfect agreement with the bell curve on rum reviews. sometimes i am way out of whack. this is one of those. i found it beguilingly good. at first i thought it would be harsh based on the color in the glass, and the bottle price suggested as much too. ya, it's not a heavy ass rum, it's rather light. smooth not too harsh. minimal but pleasant after taste. i think you could introduce someone who "doesn't drink straight rum" with this and surprise them, that ya, maybe they do!

Bottle at BCLCB is slightly different shape and is labeled Superior.
Nice dark amber colour, okey flavour, on sweet side. I enjoy it neat but adds a great deal to a Hurricane as well

I only tried this recently as it was the house pour at a friends bar n i must say for a house pour its great! Get a slighty woody, smokey complexity as well as the typical sweetness which is more cocoa than the typical caramel. Made a lovely Daiquiri with it!

This rum has a distinct woodiness to its aroma in the bottle. I came to that conclusion before reading the label and discovering it to have been aged in oak casks. Upon further research I discovered the oak barrels used to contain bourbon. That explains not only the aroma but also its mellowness. This is a fine sipping rum with bare hints of sweetness and a complex flavor that does remind me of Kentucky bourbon. Some may prefer this as a sipping rum but IMHO it's best in cola.

One point...fishnets on a woman...sexy. Fishnets on a bottle of rum....weird. :-)

The Brugal basic. This is really good with coke. On it's own you will want it on the rocks. Very medium taste

Kinda hot and not to complex. Dry with lots of sharp oak and a little vanilla and toffee. Good with Coke or juices. I made a pain killer that was good. If you need a cheap sipper this can do though prefer aged Bacardi don q or Barrilito for the modest prices

I like woody and dark profile of taste. This is serious rum with high leathery accents. It is strong and rich in flavour but not too harsh in mouth. Good value for nice price.

I gave this an 7 because of the price point. I think it drinks well on the rocks and I really enjoy the overall flavor. It's just a tasty daily drinking Caribbean rum overall.

Nice, warming (but no burn), oak tastes. Drank this neat on a night out when there wasn't much else behind the bar, perfectly acceptable rum

Good for the price. Smooth and flat, no real depth to it but it's really good cocktail base.
