Any self respecting rum drinker knows that if there is one thing where the Caribbean shines in general, is the making of rum, and Dominican Republic is no different with Brugal.

For the casual traveler to the Dominican Republic, the selection of rums in resorts will perhaps be limited since some of the tastes our rums have may not cater to the regular drinker, the one they will have however, at any place, is BRUGAL.

Brugal, is the best selling rum in and of the Dominican Republic, I was on a plane the other day and was surprised to see a whole article about this rum in one of the in-flight magazines. While the age of the rums may vary by hotel, in general, the ones you will find will be young rums, and will be best suited for drinking with Coke, or ehem.. Coke Lite (Dominican version of Diet Coke)… See what I did there?

Some of the aged rums from Brugal come wrapped in a yellow mesh (see picture) around the rum, I’ve actually seen people hanging that mesh from their cars as a way to express that they are Dominican, while 99% of people won’t understand it, the 1% who do (as you now will) will giggle internally, and say, “that’s a win”.
