Be sure to check out Vizcaya as well. That is one of the tastiest rums I’ve ever tried.

I think that the rums available from the DR are improving. Barcelo Imperial is a great rum - one of my frequent sippers. You have Atlantico now as well. I haven't seen Macroix Ocho yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it!

It is a shame that this is one of the few Dominican rums that can be found in the U.S.

In the D.R., extra viejo is the better of the Brugals (or “Brutal”) as it is known, but in general Brugal is a cheaper brand of rum.

I would suggest trying to find Macorix Ocho Año or Barcelo Imperial or Gran Añejo. They are far superior Dominican rums, and I know that at least a couple of them can be found in NYC, as there tend to be many Dominicans in that locale.
