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

Brugal 1888 Gran Reserva Rum is a twice-distilled molasses rum from the Dominican Republic. It is matured first in American bourbon casks, then finished in Spanish sherry casks. The blend uses rums aged from 5 to 14 years. Brugal is a fifth-generation family producer, with all production from sugar cane harvest to bottling taking place in the Dominican Republic. On the nose it is mild at first, then more intense, with wood, vanilla, roasted coffee, cinnamon and dried fruit. The palate is light and well balanced with restrained sweetness, smooth and full-bodied, with vanilla, coffee, leather and mint. The finish is slightly sweet, quite long-lasting and aromatic.
