Brugal Blanco Especial Extra Dry

Surprise for a white rum: it's noticeably dry, which a few tasters say lifts it above the usual soft blanco. The nose is faint and lemony-waxy; the palate brings more — lemon, fresh green apple, a little spice, then a short, fresh finish. Body is thin, and neat it turns a bit hot and rough. Most people reach for it as a mixer.

A very light nose. Faintly lemony and waxy. Not much of note. The palate has more flavour than the nose would suggest. Lemon and fresh green apple with a hint of spices. A short finish but quite fresh. The apple lingers with the spice. Overall, it's pretty middle of the road. Nothing offensive, a bit thin. Would work mixed, if you didn't want much from the rum.

Mixer and an average one at that in my opinion. When it was in the local Supermarket for 12€ I took it without thinking. (I still prefer it more than Bacardi Carta Blanca) Despite everything you can make a proper fresh, crispy, daiquiri with it. The price makes the biggest difference.

Another nice tasting finished, this time with rums from the Domenican Republic. This is definitely a mixer. Seems like they made this rum because they felt that they had to make a white rum. Bland to the point of boring.

I think it's only usable in mixing. It works decently in a Mojito, but neat I find it unpleasantly alcoholic, especially in the mouth. Very rough in general, I would call it coarse. Sure, for 13 euros a bottle you can't expect much. On the nose it's quite decent, a 5, in the mouth a 3. Finish a bit pungent.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate

This is a very good well balanced, well put together mixing white rum. The dryness gives the rum an extra dimension and lifts it above many other white rums. For a mixologist it will give a lot more options in mixed drinks and may well improve the quality of a...
