For more than 135 years, Brugal has been leading the way in luxury rum-making. Founded in 1888 in Puerto Plata by Don Andres Brugal Montaner, a visionary with an adventurous spirit, the family-run Dominican rum house has earned a reputation as one of the Caribbean’s most respected producers. Combining generations of expertise with an ongoing pursuit of refinement, Brugal continues to craft exceptional rums with distinctive character and quality.

Today, this legacy is kept alive by fifth-generation Maestra Ronera Jassil Villanueva Quintana, and the distillery continues to champion a commitment to excellence, innovation and unparalleled rum craftsmanship. Each expression is distilled, aged and bottled in the Dominican Republic, using 100 per cent Dominican sugar cane. From ageing under the tropical sun to its unique aromatic cask process, Brugal is rooted in Dominican spirit and soul, embodying the culture, heritage and craftsmanship of its homeland in every drop.

In a world of premium spirits, Brugal 1888 stands out. Rather than relying on over-sweetness, it uses a unique double-ageing process – a technique more commonly associated with fine single malt whiskies. The rum first matures in ex-bourbon casks for up to eight years, before being moved into first-fill Oloroso sherry casks for a second maturation. The result is a distinctive, layered spirit, which beautifully balances a rich, smooth texture with elegance, depth and complexity. Expect notes of vanilla, dried fruits, cocoa, toffee and warming spice, best enjoyed neat, on the rocks or mixed into characterful cocktails – Brugal 1888 offers an effortless yet sophisticated sip for every occasion.

For a classic serve, try Brugal 1888 in an Old Fashioned or Espresso Martini to let its depth and sherry-cask character shine through or simply pour over ice. To experience the rum at its finest, visit this summer’s exclusive Brugal bar takeover at the Oasis Bar & Terrace in Canary Wharf, where a specially curated menu showcases the rum alongside a selection of delicious cocktails.
