I have like five bottles of Barcelo Imperial. Friends and families aways bring it to me they they go on vacation to DR.

I don’ like to drink rum to much unless it is in mixed, but will drink it if I am out of premium Tequila (Don Julio, Cabo Wabo), Barcelo Imperial is the only rum I would straight up that I can afford. However, I do like to mix rum with coke and for me Brugal Extra Viejo (which is cheap) is the best rum to mix with coke and two cube of ice.

I would say mix equal parts of Extra Viejo and coke and add two cube of ice per 4 to 5 ounces of the mix and you set to get a slow good high.

I got a bottle of that 3 years ago in the Dominican Republic and sadly, I finally finished it. I just couldn’t keep it on reserves any longer. Just love this rum. The woody smell/taste, makes me feel like I’m standing in a room full of wood rum barrels in some damp, room in the hot Caribbean. I know what you mean Mr. Dood about how it really brings visual references (hmmmm….hallucinogenic rum!)
They sell Brugal in Canada but sadly, not that puppy. Now I’ll have to bribe friends going down there on vacation to pick me up a bottle of this and what the hell, a bottle of Ron Zacapa XO to boot.
Cheers everyone and Happy Holidays!…hic

[...] The Brugal rums are a line of rums made in what is often referred to as the Puerto Rican or Latin American style. They are double-distilled and very light-bodied. They are characterized a clean, smooth flavors and are usually enjoyed in the Dominican Republic with Coke or 7-Up. Brugal’s rums include a wonderful white rum, as well as a gold, the Viejo, and the newly available (in the US) Extra Viejo. Of course, if you’re in the Dominican Republic you can also probably find yourself a bottle of the Siglo de Oro. [...]

I was lucky enough to get a bottle of that rum in the dominican airport/duty free. Took me a while to get into the huge oak flavour but once I did the bottle started to empty a lot faster.

Have you tried the garden variety Brugal Anejo? Really excellent stuff for $14 or so. My standby sipping rum.

Hello everyone.my name is mike and I thought I would through my 2 cents worth in about this wonderful rum.this rum is the best I have tasted.every year we visit the Dominican republic and return home to Canada with at least 3 bottles.I’m lucky enough to have friends there that purolater this rum to my home when I want some. All we can buy in Canada is the carta dorada.which is nice to but a far cry from the brugal ( blue ) as I call it.so to all you rum drinkers that have sampled the silo de oro enjoy!

I’m glad I stumbled across this site. Great reviews and I really enjoyed this one. Makes ya wanna drink rum which I suppose would be the highest compliment.
Anyways, I was lucky enough to get a bottle of that rum in the dominican airport/duty free. Took me a while to get into the huge oak flavour but once I did the bottle started to empty a lot faster. Fantastic rum.
