Brugal
Brugal was founded in 1888 in the Dominican Republic by Don Andres Brugal Montaner, a Catalan who passed through Cuba before settling in Puerto Plata in the north of the island. It was in Santiago de Cuba that the founder learned the art of distillation and borrowed the tradition of the light "ron". In 1920, the first ageing cellars were built, and from the middle of the 20th century onwards, Brugal significantly improved and diversified its offer.
Brugal rums are molasses rums typical of the Latin-Caribbean tradition of light rums. After a rapid fermentation, the diluted molasses passes through several distillation columns, from which the rum will flow at 95% alcohol. The rum is reduced to 65% before being put into Bourbon or Sherry casks for a minimum of 2 years.
The brand offers rums for cocktails such as the Brugal Añejoa blend of 2 to 5 year old rums, or the Brugal XV Reserva Exclusiva which contains rums aged from 2 to 8 years.
It is also present in the field of tasting rums with the Brugal 1888 which offers a beautiful balance and a subtle woody taste, the result of an average of 10 years of aging. Read less
