Sophisticated dry Rum. My first in this category. Sort of like a sweet scotch but still a great Rum. A keeper.

rhum doux, qui passe tout seul dans la gorge sans rien bruler mais qui manque de saveur, de caractère. Trop plat. Je note 6 pour le gout et 8 pour la douceur.
A must have !
Complex, deep, sofisticated
Love it

The solid form of the bottle and with gold inscriptions. In the grid. The aroma is pleasantly heavy and not original: varnish, leather, tobacco. The taste is buttery sweet interesting and similar to Barbados rums. It is drunk at ease with water. A slight aftertaste of essence. There is no creative impulse. The post-effect is normal.

Not usually a fan of Dominican rums, but this one was easy to drink.

Big fan. Great packaging with a metal enclosed cork top. Rich caramel color with a sharp intense nose. Taste is bitter sweet dark chocolate with a smokey peaty finish. Dry and intense flavor. Holds up well with ice.

Love this stuff. Deffinitely a very Unique rum. One of the smoothest rums I have ever placed upon my tongue. No sweetness, this rum is obviously just exactly what it is a pure and natural like it is supposed to be when it comes out of the barrel. No idea how old it is but i would guess that it's a minimum of 12 years old. Dried fruit on the nose, finish has a leathery fruity complexity. I enjoyed it Neat, on the rocks and just for a kick with a splash of coke. All were excellent! Buy a bottle. Speaking of bottle it is really nicely presented, and the cork has a metal cap which is a first for me. Classy stuff right there!!

Ein guter Rum zum akzeptablen Preis. Nicht zu süß, leicht würzig. Langer Abgang

When I first cracked this bottle, the nose instendly reminded me of Cask 16; you Crown lovers will know what I'm talking about. The taste is consistent with the Brugal line up; dry and mildly sweet.
The more I drink and sample rum, the more I develop a like for dry rums. In Addition to the dry there is just a mild spice that compliments the dry well. I would recommend to all who like the dry.
Shout out to bold boss for grabbing me this for me while in Quebec.
Cheers 👊

Unfortunately not so good as Brugal Leyenda, maybe I am too sentimental, but still recommended spainsh style rum. Those brugal rums are simple in taste, without many fruit flavours, but this works totally in Brugal Leyenda due to its smoothness, however 1888 for its price could have been better, still I think it is one of greatest rums I've tasted and best one from brugal right after Leyenda.
Final verdict: Maybe some day I will give it another shot
