Raised Spirits
We savor Brugal’s 1888 rum—a big hitter that combines bourbon’s complexities with the sweetness of sherry.
Brugal’s spirit is an exemplary show of all that rum has to offer. Crafted in the Dominican Republic and matured through a doubleaging process, the Brugal 1888 has been bottled with the accumulative expertise of five generations. Founded in 1888 by Andrés Brugal Montaner, the Brugal brand is best known for pushing the boundaries of rum making with its supremely smooth spirits aged in hand-selected casks under the Dominican sun for a well-rounded finish with a long-lasting aftertaste. With notes of vanilla, red fruits and toffee, rounded out with cocoa and natural oak spice, Brugal 1888 rum pairs the rich palette of bourbon and sherry for a beautifully balanced spirit brimming with flavor. Enjoy mixed in a refined cocktail like a Rum Negroni or a twist on an Old Fashioned, or simply sip neat for a premium punch. brugal-rum.com
