Brugal Leyenda Edición 5 Aniversario

Brugal Leyenda Edicion 5 Aniversario comes from one of the Dominican Republic's three B's, the houses that anchor the island's amber, vanilla led style alongside Barcelo and Bermudez. Built from molasses, it shows the caramelised nut and dried fruit character the Dominican Republic is known for, with chocolate, toffee, banana and a woody edge on the nose. Bottled at a soft 38%, it is made for relaxed sipping rather than intensity.

The palate carries woody, roasted notes with banana and dried fruit, leading into a caramel rich finish touched with chocolate and a syrupy sweetness. Brugal as a house tends to test on the drier side, yet this anniversary bottling leans clearly toward roundness and dessert, with apricot, raisin and gourmet caramel filling out the profile. The light Dominican column spirit lets the oak and sweetness lead, making this a smooth, easygoing pour for anyone who enjoys soft, after dinner Caribbean rum.
