Additional Information:
A rum made to sip. Welcome to La Casa Brugal, the home of 135 years of rum mastery. Brugal 1888 is the culmination of five generations of cask-ageing expertise. An exceptional double-aged rum, it is wonderfully inviting and truly a rum made to be shared and savoured.
Brand
This blend of two worlds gives 1888 a complex yet smooth flavour profile.
1888 is a truly extraordinary ultra premium golden rum, produced in the Dominican Republic and combining the rich flavours of bourbon and sherry casks through a double-ageing process.
A complex yet balanced spirit that stimulates the senses and evolves in the glass. Crowned as the best 'Column Still Rum' at the World Rum Awards in 2018, this is a very special rum.
Brugal 1888 rum leads the way in double aging. It is a full bodied liquid that rests first in hand-picked ex bourbon American oak casks, followed by a second maturation in European Oak Sherry Casks. Its deep amber colour results in a complex yet balanced rum with a remarkable taste and long smooth finish that evolves in the glass.
With over 100 year of crafting their expertise, every bottle of 1888 is overseen by the 5th generation of Master Blenders, each a descendant of the original founder of Brugal. Each bottle is individually tested and packaged by hand. Each bottle is wax dipped and the iconic Brugal netting is applied with care. 1888 is made to be savoured sip by sip. Try it either neat or as a smoky Old Fashioned.

Luxury rum
Rich flavour with spice finish. Very nice to have it neat.
Excellent!
Excellent rum, incredibly smooth and silky! Perfect on its own with ice or with a bit of coke. Light vanilla and oak undertones with caramel finish - wonderful taste, I absolutely love it! Beautiful bottle design is an extra bonus. Would definitely recommend.
Nice with a mixer
Now, I know rum aficionados will hunt me down for mixing this, but I just can't drink any rum straight. Mixed with coke or as the base for a cocktail, it's lovely.
Smooth and delicious
Never thought of drinking rum neat before, but this rum is just so good it seems a crime not to let the delicious nectar trickle over your lips and set your tongue alight with the amazing flavour that evolves whilst sipping. Amazing and worth every penny!
Beautiful
To start with, the bottle in its presentation is impressive. And then the taste of this spirit is exquisite at the price point. So smooth and a great toffee/vanilla/fruit taste. Would definitely recommend as a sipping spirit, no need for ice or a mixer.
Smooth, quality sipping brandy
A few years ago , I was bought a bottle of Angostura 1919. I had up until that time been a single malt drinker. I thought it was amazing and now find I prefer premium rums. This double distilled Brugal 1888 is very much in that vein. Exceptionally smooth, especially if allowed to breathe. Hints of vanilla and a balanced sweetness.
