Brugal 1888 Rum

Had this in a Dark Rum Flight, at Red Frog Pub, on the Carnival Sunshine. This isn’t bad, and I would drink it again. It falls short when compared to my favorite, Appleton Reserve 12.

Very woody and hogo funkiness up front, then molasses and spice on the way out. A good sipper.

Definitely burnt sugar and tropical scents on the nose, with banana being pretty forward. The taste immediately goes to burnt sugars, which is preferable given the lower proof. Tropical flavors and banana, very true to the nose, develop after this. Finally, the bourbon wood rides along the finish. This would be a very good budget rum to have, assuming a bottle runs as cheap as this pour.
