Brugal 1888 Doblemente Añejado
"Best drank neat" and warmed in the hand is the recurring tip here — several tasters say it opens up as the glass hits body temperature. Expect a Brugal in the Spanish style: sherry and oak up front, caramel, vanilla and dried fruit behind it. Sweet but not cloying, and a bit woody. A few find the 40% a touch hot on opening.
The community says- Sherry and oak
- Smooth, easy sipping
- Contains added sugar

How does Brugal 1888 Doblemente Añejado taste?
Aggregated from 299 community reviews.
Sherry-and-oak Spanish sipper, lightly sweet Well-liked easy sipper with clear sherry-cask and oak character. Less sugary than many Spanish-style rums, but several find it a bit thin, hot on opening, and short on depth.

I have not tried many rums. But I did not like this one. Nose was strong. Taste was better.
Review by Tim
The good thing about this rum is that it has not been excessively sugared, like many other rums from this category. However, it is not particularly praiseworthy at first sight because of the alcoholic note, but if you give it a little time, you get a wonderfully woody sherry nose. In addition, caramel and some fruit. In the mouth then even the dark flavors dominate, which makes this rum something special.

21.12.2025 Having a friend over who is not up to the heavier stuff, so we run through a few lighter rums. This is still my wifes favourite baking rum. ---------- This is a rum that can be rated incorrectly because it is unique in its own way. Initially I rated this rum very low until I found out that it needs to rest for a long while and not only rest standing still. You need to hand warm it and around 25 degrees C. the rum really opens up. The sherry cask and oak is very obvious from nose to finish. The rum was first released in 2011 and its a rum in the cheap end. Price to quality is very good.
Review by wrighty03
Decent when drank cold, but as mentioned in many reviews really comes alive when warmed in the hand. Wonderfully smooth very easy to drink, simple pallet but with discerning flavours of sherry and oak, very pleasant rum to sip. The more you sip the better it gets.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,3:The nose very woody, but a sense of balance is immediately apparent. This woodiness is tinged with caramel and molasses, simple and classic aromas that are not disturbed by a sensation of sweetness or alcohol. The latter is well-integrated, accompanied by a slight solvent aspect that gives an impression of concentration and impresses the aromas well.The nose opens with rounder notes of coconut, the woodiness melting into milk jam perfumed with orange peel and sweet spices (cinnamon). Aeration brings floral notes and then it's the nuts that stand out this time. It's a rather pleasant, well-balanced, mellow but not sweet. Coconut now becomes a constant...Very promising! 7:On the palate, the texture is light, the attack marked above all by a very toasty woodiness that quickly takes hold of the taste buds. The entry is straightforward with the wood leading the way, soon supported by a spices-pepper. Once this rather lively phase is over, the character quickly becomes light and even a little watery. The wood and pepper continue to swarm across the tongue, sprinkling it with smoky notes of molasses and caramel. 7:On the finish, it's the smokiness of very strongly toasted wood that remains, with hints of vanilla. It is quite short. Well, quite a dissapointment later on.... Edit:10.9.25
Review by Ondřej Koller
Nice dry rum, very drinkable and mild. Lot of vanilla and spices in the nose. Softly bittering in the end
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Well-balanced and soft taste with body and character. A sweetness of caramel and vanilla balanced with peach, cocoa - long and elegant aftertaste with a hint of honey.
Review by Kieron Wood
This has bias on a review as was sipped on the day of engagement in Dominican Republic so maybe tasted through happy sunglasses. I had a sample of this on the rocks . sultanas, dates and honey, with a touch of gentle smoke. Buttery and sweet with butterscotch, .
Review by Galli33
Solid rum. Significant taste of leather in the finish… Pleasant to drink… don’t knock your socks off 😜
Review by Anonymous
Smooth, not as sweet as others have described and goes great with a big rock!
Review by Timo Groeger
Hier noch 6 must do's, irgendwann bestellt, heute getrunken. Dieser hier ein echt solider Durchschnittsrum. Frage mich, wer hier Alkohol an der Nase hatte. Riecht nämlich sehr neutral, am Gaumen dann Zucker, Karamell und Holz.
Review by Abrahan Reyes
I was a bit skeptical about buying this rum, glad that I did. Excellent Spanish-style rum. The Sherry cask enhances this spirit and adds some sweet notes to the rum that otherwise might be too woody and plain. My favorite Spanish-style rum so far.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Hispanic style rum that offers everything in the region and in this style. The nose is open with aromas of brown sugar and caramel, coffee, wood and chocolate. On the palate, there is a thick texture, an almost honeyed side, some spices and dried fruits. The sweetness predominates in an obvious way. In the finish, a slight smoky side stands out from the rest, relatively flat and ephemeral.A rum less sweet than usual, therefore more authentic but which clearly lacks depth to stand out. It will undoubtedly pass better in digestive with a cigar.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Von allem etwas, holzig, würzig, fruchtig, sehr rund, leichte Süße. Die Sherry-Reifung ist mild wahrnehmbar, selbstverständlich viel weniger als beim Wagemut PX z. B.. Drinks: - Pur: 4.5/5 - Rum Cola: 4/5
Review by Rumpalumpa
Der braucht definitiv etwas Zeit im Glas. Zunächst ist er nämlich doch recht alkoholisch und primär holzig. Dann aber ausgewogener und das PX Fass kommt fruchtig erdig durch, ohne zu süß oder dominant zu sein.
Review by Dave Dahlgren
Lite socker tillagt och där av blir den väldigt len och söt men eftersmaken försvinner snabbare. Blir lite enklare mindre alkoholkänsla bränner mindre. Något lite funky den mögliga känslan kommer fram.
Review by TheJackDrop
"Whisky Live 2023, quick tasting session! RON's not my thing, but this is really nice on sherry and without too much sugar. Plus a great welcome at the stand. To sum up, my tasting notes: On the nose: Caramel, Sherry, Vanilla In the mouth: Sherry, Orange zest, Spicy Finish: Vanilla, Sweet".
