Brugal 1888 Gran Reserva Familiar (70cl, 40%)

A Dominican rum made from molasses and bottled at 40% in a 700ml bottle. It is matured for up to eight years in former bourbon casks, then further matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, which are used for rum maturation for the first time. Fruit, oak spice and sweet aromas meet a smoky character and a full mouthfeel. On the nose there are red fruits, dried fruits, raisins and dates, with spicy wood and a hint of cinnamon; the palate is round, soft and full-bodied, with toffee and vanilla sweetness, peach, cocoa and cloves; the finish is long with a fine honey note.
