Brugal Doble Reserva Rum
Brugal Doble Reserva Rum is a Dominican rum built on two cask stories: aged first in ex-bourbon whiskey casks, then finished in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, and blended by Brugal's fifth-generation Maestros Roneros. From Puerto Plata, where the Brugal family has made rum since 1888, it arrives in the house's signature hand-applied mesh netting — an easy-drinking aged rum with real depth at 40% ABV.

The Story
Don Andrés Brugal Montaner founded Brugal in Puerto Plata in 1888, and five generations of Maestros Roneros have blended the house's rums ever since. Doble Reserva — "double reserve" — takes its name from its double maturation: the whiskey casks lay down wood, vanilla and spice, and the sherry casks answer with fruit and a gentle sweetness. Browse the rest of the house in our Brugal collection, from Extra Viejo to the flagship 1888.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Dark amber in the glass, with soft spicy aromas, wood and tropical fruit. Palate: Full, smooth and complex — the whiskey casks dominate with pronounced wood notes, nuts, vanilla and baking spices, while the sherry casks add fruity notes. Finish: Long-lasting and sweet.
How to Enjoy
Doble Reserva is made to sip neat or over a large cube, where the two-cask character shows best. It also builds a superb Rum Old Fashioned and a richer Cuba Libre.
