Brugal 1888 Double Aged Rum 70 cl (40 Percent)

Product Information

Brugal 1888 Rum is made from fresh, raw sugar cane, which is hand-cut from plantations across the Dominican Republic's countryside. Once the cane has been harvested, it is pressed and the remaining juice is turned into molasses. The molasses is then fermented for approximately 48 hours before it is twice distilled through Brugals' copper stills.

The business remained family owned until in 2008, when the Scottish Edrington Group acquired a majority stake in the operation. Product These guiding principles led Brugal to the realms of art – a world that resonates for its celebration of craftsmanship, collaboration, and sense of open community. One that fosters great minds coming together to create something of true mastery. It is these very elements that pioneered Brugal 1888, a double-aged natural rum that encapsulates Brugal’s signature elegant, complex, and aromatic taste. A premium rum that – like an extraordinary piece of art – has the power to bring people together. The finale, a wax-sealed cork as one last nod to the Brugal 1888’s bourbon influence, makes for a memorable experience when reaching for the first pour. Brugal 1888 Doblemente Añejado is a truly exceptional rum, produced in the Dominican Republic and combining the rich flavours of bourbon and sherry casks through a double-ageing process.Founding Legends captures the passion, perseverance and craftsmanship of Brugal and Orsoni’s larger-than-life founders. miles away in Venice, family patriarch Angelo Orsoni founded his mosaic workshop, perfecting age-old techniques that 135 years later define Orsoni as one of the most prestigious mosaic studios today. Brugal 1888 earned a score of 93 points at the Ultimate Spirits Competition, won a Gold medal at the Global Rum Masters in 2017 in the Gold Rum Ultra Premium category, and received 93 Points by the Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of sipping this special Brugal neat. The rum boasts an exclusively complex taste – its American Oak bourbon past is prominent yet balanced by a slightly sweet and long-lasting finish.

Interspersed among the vivid hues are various shades of browns and ambers, reminiscent of Brugal's extensive cask library in the Dominican Republic. Maestro Roneros carefully select the best casks based on their unique characteristics, with each type of wood imparting its distinct flavour and aroma to the rum. Family encapsulates the most profound source of inspiration and connection felt between Mijares and Brugal. The piece depicts symbols of love, passion, hospitality, and the care that one feels upon entering the Brugal home.Today, with the care and nurturing of the now extended and international Brugal family, Brugal 1888 is one of the world’s finest rums – fulfilling the potential he first recognized more than 130 years later. Brugal has been pushing the boundaries of rum-making for more than 135 years, perfecting its double-ageing process in the finest bourbon and sherry casks, resulting in the rum’s signature rich and complex flavours. Orsoni, a true master in the art of creating molten glass, has likewise set the standard for expertly blending colours with glass to create its world-renowned smalti. A young Angelo Orsoni was driven by that same fervour and dedication in his quest to become a master of glassmaking and coloured mosaics. Angelo’s presence in this piece is felt in the precise gestures used to create this stunning mosaic - a testament to his remarkable skills. Our 'Legacy' theme encapsulates the deep respect for heritage that both Orsoni and Brugal have strived to impart to each successive generation. Each of the four bottles in this represents a unique aspect of the two brands’ legacies, told through the artistry of hand-cut Venetian mosaic. For the second and final (albeit not short-lived) step, the rum is matured in single-use Spanish Sherry casks for up to six years. It is during this time that it evolves its dark amber color. The nose is developed here as well; notes of citrus, toffee, and fruit come forth to make for a compelling and unique experience in the glass.
