Created to be enjoyed – aged to perfection. Brugal 1888 is an exclusive Dominican rum where tradition and innovation meet in one refined glass.
This double-aged rum unfolds in layers of complexity, created through a rare combination of bourbon and sherry cask aging. The result is a deep, rounded and balanced rum that combines depth, sweetness and spice with remarkable finesse. Perfect for slow sipping or as a premium base in a classic cocktail – but only for those who seek the extraordinary.
Aroma
The fragrance opens with elegant notes of burnt caramel and toasted oak that immediately tickle the nose with warm undertones. Layer upon layer, traces of dried fruit are revealed, especially raisins and figs, and a touch of vanilla and clove. There is both depth and freshness, creating a olfactory experience that promises great complexity.
Taste
In the mouth, Brugal 1888 unfolds silky and rich, with a distinct sweetness from toffee and dark chocolate balanced by notes of cinnamon, coffee and dried fruit. The rum is remarkably balanced – not too sweet, not too dry – but with an impressive structure to match its aromatic promise. It is an experience that is both warming and seductive.
