RO: asa cum spun si in titlu este fix urmatorul pas in sus fata de XV . alcoolul nu mai e in valuri se simte mai rotund, este un rom mai matur , gustul este apropiat (nu mai simt piper aici)
un XV upgradat , dar greu de spus daca merita difereta de pret

EN: as I say in the title, the next step up compared to XV. the alcohol is no longer in waves, it feels rounder, it is a more mature rum, the taste is close (I don't feel pepper here anymore)
an upgraded XV, but it's hard to say if it's worth the price difference
($48) This one I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. Popping the cork, I know I’m going to love it. It smells sweet of the Brugal floral note I’ve come to love and even some woody oak tones as well. Very enticing.
The initial flavour is that of a classic Dominican rum with some long oak finish. The finish lasts long as bits of sherry come up to meet you, long after you’ve taken a sip.
Leather, tobacco and a sherry finish. I’m thinking a cigar would go amazingly well with this.
After the second tasting, the cork broke apart. Luckily I keep some old corks. If not for this cork issue, it would be a 10.
You pick up the oak in this rum. Its very good, almost too good. I would use it as a sipper. When used as a mixer make sure to have a double so you don't lose the flavor.
One of the bartenders at the Rum Bar in Key West said that this is his favorite sipper, so of course I had to try it. Full flavored, smooth, complex and bless my soul, not very sweet where you can taste the rum and not the sugar. How is it that I have never tasted this before?!? I taste very few flaws, really excellent.
This is a strong rum, it has strong oak aromas and caramel notes, you can smell the alcohol, yet to the palate it’s quite delicious, definitely recommended.
This rum has no character or depth to it. There is nothing harsh about it - at least on the rocks. There is nothing really off putting. But there is also nothing at all that stands out in the least. Dry and very little sweetness which I do not mind at all but something is really missing and it is hard to say exactly what it is. I have tried a handful of rums from the D.R. and they are just all a disappointment except for Matusalem 18 which is a fine rum. Even Opttimus 25 was nothing spectacular. My D.R. rum journey has probably finished with this rum except for Matusalem 18 which I will buy again.
Complex and mild rum, with some rough edges, a lot of wood but too much taste from bourbon oaks and leather.
Mix between rum taste and wisky taste . Not too sweet, but still very drinkable. Should try with ice cube. Nice rum and good alternative.

I'm a big fan of Brugal rums and couldn't wait to get this in the glass. A little disappointed, perhaps my expectations were too high on this one.
