The Leyenda is produced in the Dominican Republic at the Brugal Distillery, known for crafting sweet, accessible rums. Distilled from molasses using a column still, this 38% ABV rum introduces a blend of rich vanilla, caramel, and raisin aromas. On the palate, it delivers sweet and smooth notes of vanilla and brown sugar, complemented by a subtle woody character. While it appeals to beginners and those fond of sweet profiles, some reviewers noted it may lack complexity compared to other Brugal offerings. Ideal for pairing with cigars or as a dessert sipper, its sweet and soft nature is often likened to a dessert wine, making it a popular choice for a rounded and mellow drinking experience.

"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."

"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."

"Muy buen complemento para noche de Amigos, Habanos y Carne asada a las brasas. Frutal, dulce y fácil de tomar, tal vez por eso fue excelente elección para contrarrestar el frio q hace en el Uruguay. A los principiantes que gustan de rones dulces para acompañar carne, como yo, totalmente recomendable. Salud! 🥃"
