Brugal Leyenda

This was my first experience with sipping rums and so it's the one I use to measure all others. This rum is very hard to come by, but if you do it's one of the best bargains you will find. Do not leave Dominican Republic without it!

This is not a superior grade rum. Full stop. It is certainly better than other Bragal rums which I refer to AS " BRUTAL" The problem is you can get an Arbuello, 4 Square, Malecon or Worthy Park for half the price that will CRUSH this expensive mid range offering. Don't do it.

Sweet rum with a lot of burned sugar. This is a very intensive taste, but it's very unbalanced. And the spice is intensifying this disbalance.
Remains too sweet in the aftertaste, thats why I can't indicate which barrels were used.
I would prefer the Botucal / Diplomatice Reserva Exclusiva in terms of price and taste.
This rum would be much better with less sugar.

Smell: caramel, vanilla, burnt sugar, dried fruit, sherry/cherry, sweetness, some barrel.
I like this combination of flavors, you can find them in some rums, but something special is still missing.

Taste: strong sweetness, caramel, a lot of burnt sugar, raisins, some spice, remains very sweet on the palate (which indicates added sugar), very slight bitterness, some wood, chocolate, cherry
Sweet aftertaste, slow and nice burn.

Country: DomRep

Spoiled sherry smell with a hint of rum, not pleasant at all.

Rum zakoupen přímo v obchodě Brugal po prohlídce rum factory za 17 usd (!). Je to jeden z nejlepších rumu, co jsem kdy pil. Je 11-ti lety, chutove vyrazny, sladší, ale ta sladkost není protivna. Rozhodne stojí za zakoupení a doporučuji ho.

Drink it straight. This is a classy drink; all your friends will appreciate it as something of quality.

Im Urlaub in der dominikanischen Republik bin ich zufällig auf díesen tollen Rum für lächerliche 22 USD gestossen.
Er hat eine feine Würze verbunden mit einer angenehmen Süsse und einen recht langen Abgang.Für das junge Alter von nur 10 Jahren unglaublich,Normalerweise ist Brugal gar nicht mein Fall aber in Anbetracht des auch noch so günstigen Preises gebe ich 9 Punkte

Given to us by a friend who was born in and routinely visits the DR, this became our favorite. Sweet with vanilla and caramel and a medium draw on the pallet, and very versatile. Drink it neat or in your favorite rum mix. We can't buy this in TCI, so we get it when we get it, but it is a wonderful when we do.

Me gusta mucho este ron dulce y añejo, yo lo prefiero tomar convidado con Coca-Cola, sin embargo sabe bien con soda y un poco de limón como lo toman en República Dominicana

Helping a friend cross his boat to the Bahamas last Friday I was fortunate enough to be at Hope Town Marina with one of the finest rum selections I’ve seen in years. I finally got to try a few rums that have evaded me, Brugal Leyenda being one of them. Drank it neat at first very smooth very sweet nice easy to drink with lots of lingering depth. A bit more maple syrup like than I prefer but significantly better than Papa Pilar.
