Over 120 years of devotion to the meticulous craftsmanship of only the best of rums have inspired the Brugal Family Master Distillers to create 'Brugal 1888', a distinguished addition to their Family legacy. Since 1888 and over 5 generations, the Brugal Family has perfected rum of exceptional finesse and 'Brugal 1888' pays tribute to the year in which Don Andres Brugal Montaner founded the Brugal company in the Dominican Republic.
The Brugal Master Distillers are dedicated to preserving the family legacy and, using their skills, have produced an annual limited release rum. As is the case of the entire Brugal family rum portfolio, 'Brugal 1888' is a product of skilled craftsmanship. The rum's double-distillation and double-ageing, both in American white oak barrels and first fill sherry oak casks from Spain, transform the rum gradually over time, imbuing 'Brugal 1888' with the character and personality of a unique and contemporary rum.
The delicate care and precise mastery which the Brugal Master Distillers devote to each and every stage of the rum process will enable the production of a special limited edition of 'Brugal 1888'. For Don Gustavo Ortega Zeller Brugal, member of the 5th generation of Master Distillers within the Brugal Family, ''the experience of creating a unique rum, new and different, has been extremely exciting. The excellence of our work resides in knowing how the liquid behaves during different phases and under varying circumstances. With 'Brugal 1888', we have developed a way to make rum beyond conventionalities, obtaining a liquid which is absolutely extraordinary. Our 'Brugal 1888' is aged exclusively in horizontally resting casks, guaranteeing permanent contact between wood and liquid, and interplaying with the maturing sugar cane spirit to provide it with its characteristic colour, aroma and know-how, essential to such an acclaimed rum.''
Tasting notes:
Color: Dark amber, clear and brilliant.
Nose: An exquisite scented bouquet, evolving over time through undisturbed ageing and blending of flavors of varied provenance. Fascinating complexity, with spicy notes, hints of chocolate, roasted coffee beans and reminiscent of cinnamon and dried fruits.
Palate: Pleasant and smooth, delightfully alive, full-bodied, with a notable finish of toffee caramel, wood and licorice.
Finish: Throughout its journey, Brugal 1888 leaves a sweet, lingering and sublime after-taste which denotes perfection.
A very special old rum from Brugal. This was twice distilled and aged in American oak before a finish in Spanish oak sherry casks. A delicious dark rum from the Dominican Republic.
A limited-edition rum, newly launched in August 2011, and finished in previously used Sherry casks. That Sherry finish contributes so much: the bright copper-penny color, the lush aromas of burnt orange and raisin and the smooth, full-bodied texture. Enjoy the elongated flavors of toffee flavor dusted with Mexican-spiced chocolate while you can.
