Brugal Especial Extra Dry Rum is produced by Brugal & Co. in the Dominican Republic. It undergoes aging for a minimum of 2 years and up to 5 years in white American oak casks before being triple charcoal filtered.
It works very well in cocktails, and although I did not mention it earlier in the review, I also found I could enjoy the spirit over ice in a small rocks glass.
Here, some tannin creeps into the rum, giving it a very slight bitterness, some lightly vegetal notes that battle with the intense, vanilla-infused sweetness of this Dominican standby.
