Andrés Brugal Montaner was born in Catalonia, Spain and moved to Cuba in the mid 1800s. While in Cuba, he learned the art of rum manufacturing and brought that experience to the Dominican Republic where he founded a rum distillery named Brugal & Co in 1888. The brand was successful and over the years has expanded to include a number of varieties of their rum. A complex yet balanced spirit that stimulates the senses and evolves in the glass. Crowned as the best 'Column Still Rum' at the World Rum Awards in 2018, this is a very special rum.

1888 / Alexander Mijares Collection - Brugal Rum Brugal 1888 / Alexander Mijares Collection - Brugal Rum

A bit dusty on the nose and classic spanish notes. Taste of sweet Tobacco some chocolate and easy to sip.

is a truly extraordinary ultra premium golden rum, produced in the Dominican Republic and combining the rich flavours of bourbon and sherry casks through a double-ageing process. The rum stands up remarkably well to ice, resisting the urge to bring out the overpowering sweetness. Instead, what we get is an emphasis on the vanilla, a little more oak flavor, and only a touch of bitterness on the finish. The fruit is still there as well, if a little diluted.

What a bargain this bottle is. Double aged in white oak and first fill sherry cask. It has a pure expression and according to hydrometer test's, a fairly small amount of added sugar. The nose gives away roasted coffee beans, brown sugar, leather, tobacco, oaky tannins and sherry cask. On the palate I get, once again, leather, tobacco, oak and brown sugar, but also roasted nuts and a hint of dried fig's roll's over the tongue. It has a nice body, not to sweet and slightly dry, unlike so many other overly sweet dominican rum. It has great texture in the mouth and a nice lingering, spicy little burn at the end. Brugal 1888 Doblemente Añejado is a truly exceptional rum, produced in the Dominican Republic and combining the rich flavours of bourbon and sherry casks through a double-ageing process. Don Andres Brugal Montaner launched Brugal in 1888 to break away from the traditional styles of the time and to create a distinctly different Rum. Apparently there are two things that set Brugal apart from others. First, the method of distillation, which removes much of what other Rums leave in. The Spirit is thus cleaner, dryer and less sweet. Secondly, every drop of Brugal is cask-aged, using the same wood policy as the World’s best single malt Scotch Whiskies. The UK’s only retail and commercial drinks specialist. We’ve been selling wholesale winesfor over 40 years. As a country-wide business, we know your customers and what they drink better than anyone else. The sophisticated sweetness of red and dried fruits, raisins and dates, complement a spicy woodiness, with hints of cinnamon.The first thing I look for here is a good balance of flavors. The ginger beer can be a bit loud, so finding a spirit that can tame that beast is important. In this case, the sweetness from the spirit and the vanilla and brown sugar flavors from the barrel aging do a great job of just that: bringing everything into balance. Smooth & full bodied with flavors of toffee, vanilla, cocoa, natural oak spice, caramel, wood and liquorice. Usually the addition of a bit of ice is where a rum falls apart for me. It either becomes too sweet, or the flavors get all crazy, or something else unfortunate happens. But thankfully that doesn’t seem to have happened here.
