Brugal XV Ron Reserva
"Mostly just honey," as one taster put it, with a little floral perfume and some cloying maltiness in the finish. This 11-year Brugal column-still opens sweet, then hands over fast to woody spice. A few find it pleasantly spicy; others call it short and a touch one-dimensional, with the 38% ABV keeping things gentle. Caramel, vanilla, oak — easy, not deep.
- Spicy oak character
- Easy, gentle
- Caramel-vanilla sweetness

How does Brugal XV Ron Reserva taste?
Aggregated from 32 community reviews.
Sweet-then-woody, easy daily sipper Most land around the middle: a spicy, woody sipper that starts sweet and thins out quick. Pleasant enough, but several call it short and a bit one-note.

Review by Vincent D
Suprise pas désagréable. Je m'attendais à quelque chose de très sucré et sans profondeur. Ce n'est pas dingue mais on est sur un ton boisé avec une sucrosité maîtrisée.

Etwas süß, wenig Frucht. Kurz im Abgang. Etwas eindimensional
Review by LukaŽiga
5,8:On the nose, the first impression we get light with fruity and coffee notes, sea salt, fudge, sweet sherry, milk chocolate, apricot, sultana raisins, orange peel, a touch of banana, almond and honey. The wood is toasted and spicy, as there is also some toasted coconut... 6:On the palate, the attack is dry, not sweet, also creamy. The taste starts with gentle waves of bitter-sweet honey, vanilla bean, the sherry is there, some salted caramel, chocolate, pleasant oak, toasted, also coconut, there is some cinnamon, candied ginger, clove, and orange peel. 5,7:The finish is soft and woody, dry, coconut still present, with wood spice, a briny note...
Review by Daniel
Würziger Sipper! Fängt süß am Gaumen an und gibt schnell zu Gunsten der Holzwürze ab.
