Distiller Notes
Extra Viejo is skillfully crafted by the Maestros at Casa Brugal using carefully selected, older reserves from American oak ex-bourbon casks. Extra Viejo is distinctive of Brugal's impeccably smooth style. The rich amber liquid has a rounded woody spiciness, notes of orange peel and hints of vanilla, with a full flavor profile and long balanced finish.
An excellent sipping rum that can be used to elevate any classic cocktail.

The bouquet features aromas of oak barrel, toasted cereal, dried fruit and toasted nuts. Entry is spicy and buttered-toasty; midpalate turns more honeyed with background tastes of egg yolk. Ends caramel sweet and toasted marshmallow-like. Range: 90-95
Often referred to as a Gold Rum, an Aged Rum is one that has been aged in barrels, often Ex-Bourbon or White Oak before bottling. As the Rum continues to age, it draws more and more color and flavor from the wood, adding both body and complexity to the finished product. Aged Rums can be sipped neat or added to cocktails. They fall somewhere in between White and Dark Rums in terms of their respective strength of flavor.
