Brugal Extra Viejo

Reactions land in the middle here: nobody hates it, few get excited. It's a wood-forward Dominican column rum — oak up front, then caramel, vanilla and a quick jump to pepper and spice. A couple of tasters used to sip it neat years ago and now find it flat and one-note. One member called the finish "quite harsh" out of the bottle; let it breathe first.

Not very different from the XV tasted previously. A woody ron with controlled (if overly present) sugar. No depth, no complexity, no length. Not unpleasant, but not for me.

Brugal 

Avg Rating 7.0/10 39 Rums

Brugal is the everyday rum of the Dominican Republic. Founded in 1888 by a Catalan immigrant who learned the trade in Cuba, it leads the home market and is majority-owned by Edrington, the Scottish house behind Macallan. It ages mostly in ex-bourbon casks, keeps sherry casks for its top bottlings and leaves the blending to a fifth generation of maestros roneros.
