Founded in 1888 in Puerto Plata, the Brugal distillery represents over a century of Dominican rum-making excellence. The brand was established by Andrés Brugal Montaner, who brought his experience from Cuba to the Dominican Republic, setting the stage for a legacy defined by quality and patience.
The 1888 expression is a tribute to this founding year, embodying the evolution of the house style. Unlike many rums that focus solely on sweetness, Brugal has always prioritized a drier, more refined profile that appeals to the discerning palate of whisky drinkers and rum enthusiasts alike.
Today, the fifth generation of the Brugal family continues to oversee production, ensuring that the traditional methods of distillation and cask selection remain at the heart of every bottle produced.
