Brugal Añejo Rum 70cl
Brand: Brugal | Category: Aged Rum | ABV: 38% | Origin: Dominican Republic | Vol: 700ml

Intro/Heritage:
Crafted under the Caribbean sun since 1888, Brugal Añejo is more than a rum, it’s the spirit of the Dominican Republic, bottled with pride. Aged in American oak casks and filtered to a crisp finish, it’s a rum that brings balance, brightness, and heritage to every pour.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Light and inviting. Notes of toasted coconut, vanilla bean, and subtle oak drift over warm hints of caramel and banana peel, like walking through a seaside market at golden hour.
Palate: Smooth and gently spiced. Brown sugar, dried citrus peel, and light molasses blend with oak tannin and a whisper of tropical fruit. It’s mellow, dry, and refreshingly crisp.
Finish: Clean and light, with lingering vanilla and soft wood spice. A dry, satisfying fade that invites another sip or the perfect cocktail.

Production Details:
Aged up to five years in ex-bourbon casks under the heat of the Dominican sun, Brugal Añejo is charcoal-filtered for clarity and smoothness. It delivers flavor without the heavy sweetness, a deliberate choice by the Brugal family to let quality and balance shine.

Perfect For:
Beach nights, rooftop barbecues, or refined cocktails that deserve better than basic rum. This is your go-to for elevated Cuba Libres, rum Old Fashioneds, or sipping neat with a twist of lime.

Expert Notes:
Praised for its dry, clean profile, a rarity in a category often dominated by sugary rums, Brugal Añejo offers a refined entry point into sipping rum, while holding its own behind the bar.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ "No syrupy finish, just smooth oak and sunshine. Instantly addictive."
🗣️ "I use it in my Old Fashioned instead of bourbon. Total game-changer."
🗣️ "Bright, clean, and elegant. This rum wants to be taken seriously."

Interesting Fact:
Brugal is one of the few rum producers that ages its spirit entirely in the tropics, which accelerates the aging process and gives its rums a distinct, concentrated depth even at younger ages.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve neat or on the rocks with a twist of orange peel. For cocktails, try it in a Rum Manhattan or with ginger beer and lime. Pairs beautifully with grilled pineapple, spiced nuts, or dark chocolate.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1888 by Spanish immigrant Don Andrés Brugal in Puerto Plata, Brugal remains family-owned and deeply rooted in Dominican culture. Their rums are made with patience, sunshine, and purpose, delivering elegant, dry expressions that redefine what Caribbean rum can be.
