Odd twist for a Brugal: instead of the brand's usual dry style, this one comes across thick and sugary, more dessert than dry Dominican. Expect raisins, dates, caramel and honey, with a soft sherry-cask roundness and light roasted wood. Several tasters loved it soft with a cigar; others called it a "sugar bomb" that reads almost like a liqueur.

How does Brugal Leyenda taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Very sweet, dessert-leaning Dominican sipper Loved by sweet-rum fans and beginners for its round, honeyed, easy pour. Just as many find it too sweet and a bit flat, closer to a liqueur than a serious sipper.

Very good companion for a night with friends, Habanos and grilled meat. Fruity, sweet and easy to drink, maybe that's why it was an excellent choice to counter the cold weather in Uruguay. For beginners who like sweet rums to accompany meat, like me, totally recommendable. Cheers! 🥃

Too much infusion made it liquer for 100%
Review by LukaŽiga
8:On the nose, the first impression we get is a mix of dried fruits like apricots, raisins, and honeyed banana, followed by gourmet caramel, toasted walnuts and just a hint of smoke before the sherry notes take over and dominate the profile, that is thick and sweet. When aired a bit, there is more wood, coffee comes out, the chocolate is milky. The sherry notes nicely round up our experience on the nose. 7,9:On the palate, the attack is sweet and fruity, as the dried fruits and caramel dominate, while a honey sweetness dominates the mid-palate. Sherry and a bit smoky, that is our second attack on the tasting buds, as the chocolate is creamy, prunes and other fruits delicious, but sweet, as the sherry is added extra to this ron, the wood charred, dry, a bit spicy... We could notice some menthol note inbetween... 7,5:The finish is medium, dry and woody, as the palate notes linger. A bit alcoholic in the end....
Review by Joshua Engels
Nice and soft rum. Perfect with a cuban cigar.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I think this rum would be a success for beginners. as it is both light and sweet. Fruity with caramel and chocolate/cocoa notes. Light roasted wood notes on the palate. Price to quality is very good.
Review by primus
Interesting round, soft rum taste that transforms at the end into an earthy, dark red wine aroma. Coffee-like aromas complete the whole. Not an everyday drop. Tastes great!
Review by Solidfunk
Caramel, coconut, molasses. Maybe some leather. This is probably the nicest Brugal I've had to date. Golden amber pour. Sweet finish with some potpourri. Bottle shared by Carlos.
Review by Beancheese
Gifted from a relative that traveled to the Dominican Republic, I believe this rum is only available locally (not exported). Fairly dark mahogany colour, this one is very low alcohol, bottled at 38%. On the nose and on the palate this one is very similar - raisins, dates, a little bit of mild woodiness (aged in sherry casks) and lots of sugar. Don’t want to guess how much the dosage here is but this is very sweet, almost akin to a dessert wine and equally easy to drink if you can get past the sweetness. Good rum for beginners and fans of sweet, smooth easy drinking doses rums. A much younger me would have liked this quite a bit, but today there is very little appeal.
Review by Simon Templer
Round, smooth, sweet with a medium finish. For me, the best!
Review by abaker-rum
This rum starts with a maple syrup/caramel nose with some vanilla added in. The taste is on the very sweet side, most likely due to the low ABV at 38%. It has notes of brown sugar and dried fruits that carry through into a medium finish with some spice and vanilla from the barrel impact.

One of the best run I ever tasted
Review by Leonardo Párraga
A very sweet rum, with poetic entrance to the mouth, opening a Universe of wonder. Fruity flavors with banana like tones are part of the journey to finish with a round short flavor. Great for those into sweet rums

Unfortunately too sweet for me. But nice aroma

Sugar bomb XXL
Review by Jakob
Spanish style in classic garb. Concise sweetness, wood, spices, balanced and easy to drink.
Review by ThatCubanRumGuy
Nose: Caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, raisins and light oak. Palate: Brown sugar, vanilla, dark fruit, chocolate and warm baking spices. Finish: Smooth and lingering with caramel, dried fruit, vanilla and oak. Rich, but a bit too sweet for my taste. Definitely a dessert-style Dominican rum. 🥃
Review by Emerson
Not so sweet as I expected looking at the other comments. Compared with the 1888 and the Doble Reserva a bit flat. Still a very nice Dominican Ron.
Review by Pavel Peknica
Excellent, sweet, cherry, very delicate

Quite caramel and sweet rum.
Review by Kieron Wood
Brugals usual style is dry and sweet rum . This is something slightly different and when I say slightly its on the finish that misses the usual pal and tobacco dry notes
