Brugal Page 1 of 1

Brugal is one of the most significant producers of rum in the Dominican Republic and one of the largest rum names in the world. The brand was established as a family business and remains closely tied to the Dominican rum tradition, known for its emphasis on the purity of the distillate, balanced character, and consistent quality.

Together with the brands Barceló and Bermúdez, Brugal forms the so-called "three B's" – a trio of key producers of Dominican rum that define the style and reputation of the country in the international market.

Brugal Rum Production

Brugal rum is produced by Brugal & Co., which operates three distilleries. One in the city of Puerto Plata and two in San Pedro de Macorís. It is the combination of modern technology, local ingredients, and years of experience that allows the brand to maintain a stable flavor across its portfolio.

Brugal is now considered the third largest rum producer in the world.

Most Famous Brugal Rums and Brand Interesting Facts

Among the most popular products of the brand is Brugal 1888, a premium rum aged using a double aging system – first in American bourbon barrels and then in sherry casks. Another notable representative of the portfolio is Brugal Extra Viejo, a longer-aged rum with a richer expression, intended primarily for sipping.

An interesting fact about the Brugal brand is that, as one of the few large producers in the Caribbean, it has long emphasized a drier style of rum without excessive sweetness, distinguishing it from many sweeter Caribbean rums.
