Brugal Blanco Especial Extra Dry
Surprise for a white rum: it's noticeably dry, which a few tasters say lifts it above the usual soft blanco. The nose is faint and lemony-waxy; the palate brings more — lemon, fresh green apple, a little spice, then a short, fresh finish. Body is thin, and neat it turns a bit hot and rough. Most people reach for it as a mixer.

Aggregated from 22 community reviews.
Dry, thin white rum for mixing Seen as an honest, dry mixing white — fine in a daiquiri or mojito. Thin and a little rough neat, and several call it bland to the point of boring.

Another nice tasting finished, this time with rums from the Domenican Republic. This is definitely a mixer. Seems like they made this rum because they felt that they had to make a white rum. Bland to the point of boring.

Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
A very light nose. Faintly lemony and waxy. Not much of note. The palate has more flavour than the nose would suggest. Lemon and fresh green apple with a hint of spices. A short finish but quite fresh. The apple lingers with the spice. Overall, it's pretty middle of the road. Nothing offensive, a bit thin. Would work mixed, if you didn't want much from the rum.
Review by Adam Rajchert
Mixer and an average one at that in my opinion. When it was in the local Supermarket for 12€ I took it without thinking. (I still prefer it more than Bacardi Carta Blanca) Despite everything you can make a proper fresh, crispy, daiquiri with it. The price makes the biggest difference.
Review by GigiMartini
Penso sia utilizzabile solo in miscelazione. Nel Mojito funziona decentemente, da liscio lo trovo sgradevolmente alcolico, soprattutto in bocca. Molto grezzo in generale, lo definirei ruvido. Certo, per 13 euro a bottiglia non si può pretendere molto. Al naso è abbastanza decente, da 5, in bocca da 3. Finale un po' pungente.
