Nez de canne à sucre, vanille, cacao, mélasse et miel. Bois de chêne légèrement imprégné d'alcool en arrière-plan. Très beau nez en général, doux et soyeux. En bouche, le liquide coule tout seul, canne à sucre un peu diluée, vanille, bois flambé, cacao. Finale un peu décevante où on a droit à un alcool sec et terreux avec du sucre brun grillé. Texture très douce, voire trop, palette de saveurs limitée. On bon rhum d'entrée de gamme très facile à boire et parfait pour des cocktails.
About this bottle
Brugal Extra Viejo remains the traditional backbone of the Brugal lineup. It features rum aged for between three and eight years entirely in ex-bourbon casks. Brugal has been shifting their profile a bit in the lighter direction, and playing with Oloroso sherry casks, while preferring to skew to a younger, international market. This, though, is a more classic expression for them.

Aroma: very sweet with some wood spice, vanilla and distinct white peach. I also find cola and a hint of unpleasant glue. Taste: first vanilla and alcohol then wood and some citrus Finish: a medium short dry finish with wood By far not my preferred rum to drink neat but works beautifully with coke as it contrasts the coke's sweetness with woody flavours .
Interesting rum that you can tell has a hint of bourbon flavor from the aging. Definitely smooth to drink but the vanilla and orange can be a little hard to taste. A good mixer for a cocktail as opposed to just sipping.
Jasmine and orange blossom nose,slightly whiff of chlorine. Extremely smooth with a pepper aftertaste. This is dangerously easy drinking and lovely.
Темный, сухой ром с ароматом специй, дубовой коры и тростниковой сладости. Неплохой ром, если покупать по акции. Иначе цена сильно завышена.
Ok for mixed drinks but not a go to for drinking on the rocks or neat. Spicy and a bit alcohol forward.
