Celebrating 135 Years of Rum Perfection: Brugal’s Enduring Legacy and Craft

Brugal, the iconic ultra-premium rum brand from the Dominican Republic, proudly celebrates 135 years of exceptional rum making since its establishment in 1888 by the legendary Don Andrés Brugal.

The Genesis of Brugal’s Distinction:

The Brugal story commenced with Don Andrés Brugal’s journey from Spain and Cuba to Puerto Plata.

This pioneering approach established Brugal as a global Dominican rum ambassador.

The Brugal lineage has seen each Maestro Ronero contributing to the brand’s heritage.
