Brugal 1888 (70cl, 40%)

An aged rum from the Dominican Republic, produced by the Brugal family, who have made rum for over 130 years. The name 1888 refers to the year the Brugal distillery was founded. It is double aged: first in American oak barrels previously used for bourbon for 6 to 8 years, then in Spanish sherry casks for a further 2 to 4 years. In the glass it has a deep amber colour. The aroma carries dried fruit, caramel, vanilla and spice, while the palate brings dark chocolate, red fruit, coffee and a hint of sherry, finishing long and warm.
