Brugal 1888 Doblemente Añejado 14yr 40%

"The good thing about this rum is that it has not been excessively sugared, like many other rums from this category. However, it is not particularly praiseworthy at first sight because of the alcoholic note, but if you give it a little time, you get a wonderfully woody sherry nose. In addition, caramel and some fruit. In the mouth then even the dark flavors dominate, which makes this rum something special."

"Well-balanced and soft taste with body and character. A sweetness of caramel and vanilla balanced with peach, cocoa - long and elegant aftertaste with a hint of honey."

"Hier noch 6 must do's, irgendwann bestellt, heute getrunken. Dieser hier ein echt solider Durchschnittsrum. Frage mich, wer hier Alkohol an der Nase hatte. Riecht nämlich sehr neutral, am Gaumen dann Zucker, Karamell und Holz."

"A Hispanic style rum that offers everything in the region and in this style. The nose is open with aromas of brown sugar and caramel, coffee, wood and chocolate. On the palate, there is a thick texture, an almost honeyed side, some spices and dried fruits. The sweetness predominates in an obvious way. In the finish, a slight smoky side stands out from the rest, relatively flat and ephemeral.A rum less sweet than usual, therefore more authentic but which clearly lacks depth to stand out. It will undoubtedly pass better in digestive with a cigar."

""Whisky Live 2023, session dégustation rapide ! C’est pas mon truc le RON mais la c’est vraiment sympa sur la sherry et sans trop de sucre. En plus super accueil sur le stand. En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Caramel, Sherry, Vanillé En bouche : Sherry, Zeste d'orange, Épicé La finale plutot orientee vers : Vanillé, Doux""

"8,3:The nose very woody, but a sense of balance is immediately apparent. This woodiness is tinged with caramel and molasses, simple and classic aromas that are not disturbed by a sensation of sweetness or alcohol. The latter is well-integrated, accompanied by a slight solvent aspect that gives an impression of concentration and impresses the aromas well.The nose opens with rounder notes of coconut, the woodiness melting into milk jam perfumed with orange peel and sweet spices (cinnamon). Aeration brings floral notes and then it's the nuts that stand out this time. It's a rather pleasant, well-balanced, mellow but not sweet. Coconut now becomes a constant...Very promising! 7:On the palate, the texture is light, the attack marked above all by a very toasty woodiness that quickly takes hold of the taste buds. The entry is straightforward with the wood leading the way, soon supported by a spices-pepper. Once this rather lively phase is over, the character quickly becomes light and even a little watery. The wood and pepper continue to swarm across the tongue, sprinkling it with smoky notes of molasses and caramel. 7:On the finish, it's the smokiness of very strongly toasted wood that remains, with hints of vanilla. It is quite short. Well, quite a dissapointment later on..."

"Wurde mir bei Freunden aufgetischt, kann man fast nicht Nein sagen. Naja, für mich leider viel zu süss und daher nicht wirklich genissbar. Die süsse Vanille- und Karamellnoten überdecken fast alles, ansonsten kommt nur noch etwas Holz und Süsse durch."

"Today i went to a free spirits festival and this was one of the rums they had to try. This one is very sweet with hints of toffee and spices. Very smooth tho. But it costed 72€ over there, too much imo. At around 50€ it would be ok."

"Pur finde ich ihn als Einsteigerrum sehr geeignet. Aber er trifft aktuell nicht mein Geschmacksprofil zum pur trinken. Er ist nicht so süß wie andere in dieser Kategorie. Aber für mich ist es einer meiner Favoriten im CubaLibre oder einfach mal einer kühlen Rum Cola im Garten bei Sonnenschein."

"Hmm habe mehr erwartet. An der Nase neben deutlichem Alkohol schöne Würze wie man sie von der Dom Rep kennt. Nussig und irgendwie cremig. Das Sherry Fass fällt kaum auf. Am Gaumen dann eher, aber eher unspektakulärer. Der Abgang ist revht bitter"

"Me gusto, lo encontré diferente a los Rones q venia tomando, tanto asi que la botella duro pocas horas. “Jerez!” ese sabor q no podia encontrar y al final de la botella lo descubrí. Próximamente compraré otra botella para apreciarlo mejor. Salu! 🥃"
