FAQs
Brugal Añejo Extra Viejo is a Dominican Republic aged rum produced by Brugal and Co., one of the oldest family rum producers in the Caribbean, founded in 1888. Extra Viejo, meaning extra old, refers to the extended maturation in a combination of American white oak barrels that gives the rum its characteristic dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and a hint of dark chocolate depth. It is a sipping rum that rewards the same contemplative approach as a quality aged whiskey.
