BrugalAñejoRum(700mL)

<p>This is arguably Brugal’s most popular Rum — with good reason.</p><p><em>Don Andrés Brugal Montaner</em> founded Brugal & Co, in<em> 1888</em> in the Dominican Republic near Puerto Plata — Silver Port — on the north side of the island. <em>Five generations</em> of the family have worked the stills and warehouses over the last <em>130</em> <em>years</em>. <em>Only family members</em> are allowed to be “Master Roneros” (Rum Masters). The current generation Master Roneros are <em>Jassil Villanueva Quintana</em> — the<em> first female</em> to hold the position — and her cousin<em> Gustavo Ortega Zeller</em>. They continue to produce highly regarded Rums in the local tradition across a range of seven finishes and styles.</p><p><em>Brugal Añejo</em> has long been one of the most popular Rums in its Dominican Republic home base. But the world has started to take notice and this — arguably the most popular Rum in its lineup — is now appearing in all the hottest bars and clubs across the UK and Spain. It’s made from the lightest distilled Rum spirits and aged <em>five years</em> in ex-Bourbon casks. It’s lighter and smoother than most Rums in it’s class and only lightly sweet. It’s also a great value. So if you haven’t tried it yet, <em>get your hands</em> on a bottle or two and thank us later.</p><p><u>Smartass corner:</u><em>The Dominican Republic has had to achieve independence five times. A new constitution was ratified just a few years ago in 2015, bringing political stability and governance to the nation for the first time.</em></p>
