Often referred to simply as Brugal 1888, the rum is first aged in ex-bourbon casks before undergoing a second maturation in European oak casks that previously held oloroso sherry.

Brugal 1888 Doblemente Añejado Rum takes its name from 1888, the year the Brugal family founded the company in the Dominican Republic. Often referred to simply as Brugal 1888, the rum is first aged in ex-bourbon casks before undergoing a second maturation in European oak casks that previously held oloroso sherry. The rum is produced under the direction of Maestros Roneros Jassil Villanueva and Miguel Ripoll, both fifth-generation descendants of the founding family.

  • Aged Rum
    Rum that is aged, but no specific type or size barrel required. No set time required for length of aging, but will often carry an age statement (which should be taken with a grain of salt). Often thought of as "sipping rums".

Tasting Notes

"The nose is heavily influenced from the oloroso sherry cask. Find a complex and highly aromatic bouquet with red fruits, coffee, tobacco, candied fruits, nutmeg and cloves. On the palate, find a spice-dominant profile with rich sherry notes, and a woody, oaky and earthy background. A long, warm finish follows. The palate is just a touch one note after the tantalizing, dynamic nose. Would be well enjoyed as a post-dinner sipper."
