Poured neat it's thin and a touch sharp for only 38%, so most people reach for cola or a cheap old fashioned instead. Expect light young oak, a whisper of vanilla and caramel, with a short finish. A dependable Dominican mixer that a few tasters call "good for mixing" — nobody's sipping this for depth.
The community says- Great in cola
- But: Thin, watery neat
- But: Short finish

How does Brugal Añejo Superior 5 Years taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Light, woody Dominican mixer for cola Most see it as an everyday cola-and-cocktail bottle: light oak and vanilla, short finish, a bit sharp neat. A handful enjoy it iced, but many call it watery and forgettable straight.

Most helpful positive review
lovely, smooth almost floral and nutty - medium finish, quite harsh when drank without ice though. Very easy to drink iced. My first tasting of this I loved it, second tasting somewhat underwhelmed, but upon giving it a proper go again I just love it- smooth, nutty, delicious. Would highly reccomend

Very boring and short-winded
Review by zabo
Edit: I've just realized that the one I brought back from the DomRep only has 37.5%. Both taste a little different, probably due to my imagination. But not really good either. But suitable as a mixer in a pinch. I thought it tasted better in the Dominican Republic. At home it somehow lost its flow. But it's my favorite in the PinaColada. Probably because I get vacation flashbacks every time.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
A very woody nose with lots of spice. There's some grape and exotic fruits buried underneath it all. Sharp. A quite sweet palate. Brioche buns with a touch of cinnamon and oak. Less fruity and spiced than the nose would suggest. Also more rounded. The finish is short. A flash of ginger and softer wood notes. It's not going to blow anybody away but it's not unpleasant.
Review by Rumantisch
The Brugal Anejo has a nice Dominican nose. Taste-wise rather weak. Lots of young wood hints, some spices and fruit but very much in the background. The 38% don't help to get much flavor out of it. Very mild, very weak, could even get lost in cola. Suitable pure for beginners.
Review by Torsten vom Endt
Short and painless, this rum is no good. If at all, only as a base for a Cuba Libre.
Review by Kelvin Peeters
Good for mixing
Review by Rumpalumpa
I am pleasantly surprised by this rum. I wouldn't have expected too much for the price, but it's perfectly usable. Bought it for cola rum and found it to be good. Now have another bottle for cocktails, let's see how that works out.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
one of the best of the price for Cuba libre but that's it :D
Review by Émile Shevek
Surprising notes of chocolate, coffee and caramel keeps one company. Re-tasted in the new bottle and after years it still manages to surprise with its typical Dominican warm notes followed however then by a woody dryness(of barrel/cork/skin/mold) that I find unique! Excellent quality/price ratio
Review by Portman
A rather unspectacular Dominican, which one can buy for the price gladly times. Nothing to indulge in, but an every day sipper.
Review by Peter Sjoroos
Flat, watery, just boring. Might work in a drink.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Nothing special neat, but also no off-putting edges or corners. Smell and taste rather light, young wood, very slight hint of vanilla. Comparable roughly to Barcelo Gran Anejo or Havana Especial, both of which I prefer. Drinks: - Neat: 2.5/5 - Rum Cola: 3/5 - Rum Mule: 2.5/5
Review by Thunderbird
I am a little undecided here... on the one hand it is very concentrated , spicy and woody, but on the other hand there is an aftertaste that bothers me ... somehow like nail polish!
Review by Franzi
Taste-wise super boring, a bit of vanilla notes otherwise rather nondescript, quite sharp for the low percentage.
Review by Polytheiser
Got it to make Mamajuana with it, as a base it's okay :p
Review by Alvaro Mateos
There are better rums. I wouldn't buy it again.
Review by Shtafermo Shtafermo
Average. Basic. Easy cheap siper for casual situations or beginners... Nothing stands out. Nothing offends... Watery body, pretty sweat , heavy caramel and vanilla. Weak pieapple... Some card board... besides that... Not much. Pretty average. Same profile as Barceló.
Review by ThatCubanRumGuy
Been in Spain the last few days and drinking this with Coke Zero and an orange in Cádiz on the beach. Nose: Fruit and woody with some hints of spice Palate: Brown sugar with caramel and vanilla Finish: Short finish with a hint of nut and wood
Review by Henry Davies
Sweet an inoffensive nose. Peach and honey with some wood and vanilla. Ok but not exciting. On the mouth everything is a let down, thin, watery and no depth at all. Wood and some brown or demera sugar. Finish has some ginger and a dry undertone. Short and unmemerable. Mixed maybe an average rum, sipped or anything similar don’t even bother
Review by Paprio Rum
Tones of vanilla, gentle with a nice bite. I like it, very good mixer with coke also.
Review by Fayaman971
A good surprise this Ron from Dominica. It is round and sweet. It drinks easily and is ideal for novices like me lol. On the nose, it is woody and a strong smell of tropical fruits comes from the glass. On the palate, you first get ripe fruits and spices for a fairly short but very pleasant finish. A bottle to have in your collection.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
I'm not sure if some of the contents have actually seen the inside of a wooden barrel.
Review by R Wehner
Nothing special, but great value for money. Bomb for mixing, if necessary also sufficient for drinking neat. Smells and tastes like a slightly diluted good rum.
Review by StormAK
По мне самый лучший базовый доминиканец в свои деньги. Спиртуозности ноль. Все что хочешь от рома тут находишь
Review by thomas fraboulet
Woody, vanilla, simple and very short finish. Discovered on vacation in Punta Cana, well rum used in hotels. Decent especially for the price 8€
Review by Kieron Wood
A cocktail rum from the Dominican that's very flexible , wouldn't really try neat but excellent in a cheap old fashioned or a Hemingway .
Review by Anonymous
Strong taste of caramel, with spice in the background that creeps out to the longer finish. Very woody. Too woody and spicy for me, I was hoping the sweetness would prevail more. I can imagine it really working in a cocktail.
Review by ThePitta
A bit sharp, but overall, pretty average, has some interesting aromas. Not bad

Some caramel and a hint of tobacco. Golden amber pour. Light hint of pepper, citrus.

Read full review ›It's very inoffensive. I wouldn't be surprised if you could pass this off as Vodka in a mixed drink. I can't put this rum into the bottom star rating as it isn't bad per se it's just really disappointing. I suppose Average is the best word to describe this effort....
