Brugal 1888

Not that much sweetened. Nice earthly scent but the taste... Its similar to that anti-mosquito plug-in repelents - perfumy taste that hides a chemical disaster. Leave this one to teenagers and their experiments. For a similar price buy yourself Mount Gay XO. Or Doorlys etc. In short proper rums, that taste like rums. After tasting this next to MG XO, I was really close to throwing up.

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.

Ikke den bedste i skabet. Men okay. Er lidt stærk i smagen.

first impression is alchohol dominant taste, not much flavor has no character. i would not recognize the taste.

You can order this at a good bar and sip on it. It does the job. It has a nice presentation of toffee and woody flavors. Unfortunately it is simply far too dry to be considered in the top echelons of rum sipping goodness. This this more like Tennessee whiskey labeled as rum. It’s by no means a bad choice, but there are better rums in the category for the price.

rarely find a sipping rum that i rate under 7. and most people seem ok with this one. but the taste at star and finish don't do it for me or the guys at tasting night. just sayin'.

Hints of wood and vanilla. Not flavorful enough for my tastes.

Have to say got to try this rum from a buddy who paid $100 for the bottle we both do not sip rum so we mixed with coke the rum in our words has a very earthy taste maybe it's the sherry casks or the tobacco coming through or the dryness of the rum but for our money not one we'd revisit anytime soon

Velmi suchý rum, u kterého mi nesedí dřevěný kouřový nádech. V chuti je cítit karamel, datle, med. Pokud se k němu vrátím za několik let, zřejmě ohodnotím jinak.

En jævnt kedelig rom, der olle har særlig meget at byde på.
