Founded in 1888 by Don Andrés Brugal Montaner, Brugal has long been synonymous with quality and craftsmanship.

Partnering with local chefs at each outpost, La Casa Brugal will feature bespoke pairings that reflect the spirit, history and artistry of each locale along the way, while also highlighting the interplay of flavors between the European and American oak-aged rums. This tour is about more than just rum – Brugal’s craftsmanship and Dominican warmth will transform these local occasions into unforgettable moments of celebration that bring people together.
At every stop, La Casa Brugal will transform into a vibrant Brugal 1888 Rum Bar, where expert mixologists craft classic cocktails with a Dominican twist, including the 1888 Rum Negroni, 1888 Rum Old Fashioned, and 1888 Rum Espresso Martini.

About Brugal 1888
Produced in the Dominican Republic by the fifth generation Brugal family, Brugal 1888 Double Aged Rum is an ultra-premium rum with depth and complexity that is also perfectly balanced and smooth, making it the ideal spirit to enjoy neat or to unlock the full flavor potential of spirit-forward cocktails. Brugal 1888 is first aged in Bourbon American oak casks for up to eight years and then aged in hand-selected Sherry casks for up to six years, a technique typically reserved for high-end, single malts. The first maturation adds a woody dryness with distinctive caramel, vanilla, coffee and toffee notes on the nose that is beautifully balanced during the second maturation, which adds a roundness and slight sweetness on the nose, with notes of red and dried fruits to taste.
