OUR MASTERY
EXCEPTIONAL RUM
Perfecting our rum making process
Our exceptional rum making process has been carefully crafted at our Dominican home in Puerto Plata since 1888. Just like our Founder Don Andres, our 5th generation Maestro Roneros are passionate about bringing out the best in every cask and blend. It is our absolute dedication to quality that has allowed each stage of our process to be meticulously perfected over time.
THE WONDERS OF OUR EXCEPTIONAL RUM
Over 135 Years of Rum Mastery

BRINGING OUT THE BEST
Masters of wood and cask
Up to 85% of our flavor comes from cask ageing which is why casks are at the heart of our treasured rums. Every cask has a life of its own, and our Maestro Roneros carefully hand-pick only those casks with the right type of wood, age and provenance to create the best flavors in our aged rum.
To ensure we develop the right flavors we only use the best quality casks, and our dedicated team of ageing specialists inspect each and every American oak ex-bourbon cask and European oak sherry cask used for Brugal. We believe it is this attention to detail that brings out the best within our rum.

OUR MAESTROS RONEROS
5 Generations of Accumulated Expertise
Started by our patriarch Papa Andres in 1888, our Maestro Roneros knowledge, intuition and skill release the promise in every cask and blend. Their continued passion and dedication to achieve the best possible for over five generations provides the exceptional quality of Brugal.

Jassil is also Brugal’s, and the Dominican Republic’s, first female Maestra Ronera, bringing a new perspective and skills into the Brugal legacy and continuing the journey to create exceptional premium rum.
