Dominican Republic | Gold | 40% ABV
Brugal Anejo rum is a blend of rums aged 3 to 5 years in used American white Oak barrels that previously held whiskey and bourbon.
The rum is produced in the Dominican Republic by Brugal & Co., a company that was founded in the late 1800s by the Spaniard Andrés Brugal Montaner. Today, the Brugal rum company remains largely in the control of Montaner's direct descendants.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 2/20/22. Pours a dark gold color. A bit lackluster. Aroma seems more puerto rican than DR. Mold honey sweetness. Not much here. Boring.

Reminds me of Havana Club. Liked it more than Santiago de Cuba and 1888.
Dry, slightly smoky, easy drinking.
Bought it for peanuts in Lidl in Romania to drink round the campfire. I got no complaints

Not sweet, mixes better with cola and goes well with orange juice. There's nothing special about, what I like that it's not sweet and artificially vanilla flavored.
It delivers for it's price.

It's not bad but I can do better at the price. If I drank mixed drinks I'm sure this would work well. Only 38% now, I'm sure it used to be 40%.

Not so bad for such a young rum
Nose: strange, let breathe for a while. It gets better. Dry.
Palate: sweet but also a bit spicy, pleasant , with hints of caramel

Some caramel and a hint of tobacco. Golden amber pour. Light hint of pepper, citrus.

Maybe a six as a mixer. 5 as a sipper. Medium Carmel color. Somewhat rough on the back end. Some leather, some apricot
Way underpriced, some big burn but overall really nice. Huge vanilla sugar up front and way too smooth for the price. Some interesting earthy floral vegetal notes in the finish, almost like cleaning product (but not from the alcohol, more like Saint James). Oaky finish

This is without question the absolute worst rum that I have ever tried. It smells like rubbing alcohol mixed with caramel and tastes even worse. Nothing can be done to improve it. I guess that I will keep the rest of the bottle handy for neighbors who like to mooch booze from me every now and then. What they don't know won't hurt me. I would not even use this crap as cleaning fluid.
Update two weeks later: I gave the entire bottle to my most mooching neighbor and even warned her about the smell and taste. When I told her that I paid about $22 with tax, she looked at the fancy bottle and thought that I was being extremely generous. A week later, I asked how she liked it and she said that it took her five days to finish off the bottle with coke and ice. She only drinks to calm her nerves. She noted no foul smell and tastes at all. I feel so very fortunate to have been born with finely tuned taste buds unlike hers. I then asked about side effects. What she described best fits the name of a drink that another friend who knows all about fine spirits came up with: the Colonic Tonic!
This rum by far is the absolute worst that I have ever had, maybe even making anything made by Bacardi or Captain Morgan as something to be savored. Maybe I got a very bad bottle, but never again for Brugal and I.
