Brugal Extra Viejo Gran Reserva

A very specific Dominican rum. Unpleasant and harsh finish. Ice cubes in the glass help to temper the aroma. Combined with cola it is even a enjoyable combination.

Ikke noget specielt godt glas. Smagt til Sankt Hans 2021

I bought this rum in hopes that "Extra Viejo" really meant that, but it doesn't. Still, the rum compares favorably with Cruzan Gold at the same price point: about $14/liter here in the place where Joe Kennedy, and also countless terminal rummies, start(ed) off. The packaging (see photo) means I'll buy it again as a robust mixer.

Drink this often, good to mix with coca cola, orange or grapefruit juice or more. Won't disappoint

well the headline says it all, i'll try it as a mixer but even then i expect not much from it. maybe i got a bad batch since others seem to rate it higher, but the stuff in my bottle honestly smells like the glue children use in arts and crafts. taste wise i only get burn and cheap alcohol taste, could as well be colored oven cleaner. at least i didnt pay for this stuff

This rum is often pushed on tourists as one of the finest rums in the country. Obviously, it lags well behind that classification. A decent mixer. The aging in sherry casks strongly influences the final product. Good in a pinch, if Barcelo Anejo or Gran Anejo is not available.

I don't know why but I wasn't expecting this one to be tasty. I thought it will be a bit harsh and undefined. But after a first sip I was convinced by a solid aroma and mild aftertaste. Not the best in the world but a nice change and great addition to my usual collection. Good find!

Good dry rum for mixing, little bit harsh for sipping.

Smooth, sweet. Works well in Cuba libre. Value for the price.

Well, won’t buy it next time. Not for drinking sote.
