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. Known for its elegant, aromatic, and smooth Dominican rums, Brugal epitomizes excellence and innovation in the rum industry.

The Brugal family, across five generations, has consistently demonstrated innovative thinking in their field while preserving the rich tradition of Dominican rum crafting. This commitment has positioned Brugal as a beacon of premium quality in the spirits industry, bridging the past with a bright future.

The Genesis of Brugal’s Distinction:

The Brugal story commenced with Don Andrés Brugal’s journey from Spain and Cuba to Puerto Plata. There, he initiated a legacy of excellence, cultivating sugar cane and distilling a distinctively light and pure rum, thanks to the tropical Dominican climate. This pioneering approach established Brugal as a global Dominican rum ambassador.

Upholding the Mastery of Rum:

The Brugal lineage has seen each Maestro Ronero contributing to the brand’s heritage. The current leadership includes the first female and youngest industry rum master, Jassil Villanueva Quintana, alongside Miguel Ripoll Castellanos and Gustavo Ortega Zeller. Innovative practices such as double aging and Aromatic Cask Toasting have redefined premium rum standards.

The range offers a luxurious Caribbean experience, pushing the boundaries of rum craftsmanship.
