Brugal 1888

( double wood ) amerikai tölgyfahordóban és spanyol tölgyfahordóban érlelt rum. Gyönyörűszép ,lágy mahagón színe van..főleg a sherry és az alkohol a domináns, plussz kevés vanilia, kissé füstös és jó száraz...többet vártam tőle de a szép üveg némileg kárpótol !!

Went on a work trip with my hermanos from the Dominican. He is the one who introduced me to rum from the DR. We bought this planning on mixing it, and it ended up being somgod we sipped it straight!

Si bien los rones Brugal no me habían sorprendido, éste sí que lo hizo. Fácil de beber tiene un sabor exquisito. Gran ron dominicano.

This is some great stuff. It’s a whiskey drinkers rum. It has great aromas on the nose. At first sip I loved it . It’s dry but sweet and has long whiskey finish. Not much burn but keeps you warm. After trying several Dominican rums this is at the top of my list next to Leyenda. This rum is so good a must have in collection!

Excellent rum, the 1888 is by far my favorite from Brugal, great taste and you can taste a bit of that earthy flavor tipical of Brugal. If you see one of this grab it, definately worth having in your collection.

I didn’t love this initially, but I didn’t hate it either. And then for the second round I had another. And then another. Long story short...this is a very easy drinker. Nothing that stands out about to me, but nothing offensive either. Drank this with a few ice cubes each time, and it was a nice compliment to the cigars down in Punta Cana.

I don't know what it is about this rum, but I like it. I taste what I think is the lingering flavor of some kind of port barrel. As well as, smooth crisp fruits vanilla and toffee that dance perfectly together. I believe they are in the works of changing the packaging because the most recent shipment to our store has been relabeled and re-bottled into a shorter bottle with a black wax top. Haven't gotten the chance to open that one yet, but when I do I will let you know what I think.

I was surprised the sharp start even i roll it in a glass for 10 min at least, worming the glass in hand, but the end is nice,flavours of oak,fruits and vanilla. I like also its dry not sweet rum. I think i need time to figure out the optimal its breathing period before drinking it. Edited later after 3rd bottle. I grew fond of it more, its well rounded and it has rich flavour although still dry and smooth.

Un ron que no pasara desapercibido en tu vida... execente desde cualquier angulo

40% ABV. Playful nose. Wood, hint of caramel and vanilla. Palate: dry, with notes of oak, tobacco, earth, and vanilla. Moderately astringent. An impressive amount of flavor for such a low-proof rum, despite my inability to pick out flavors. Do I detect a blended rum? Finish is medium-long, but slightly bitter.

I'm very impressed with this one—especially after my recent disappointment with the Flor de Caña 12. This one is waaaay better. Reminds me in some ways of certain Foursquare offerings. Definitely recommended as a simple sipper, without (I suspect) additives or sweeteners, or a top-notch mixer.
