Brugal Colección Visionaria Edicion 03 (bottled 2026), 45%

Introduction

Brugal Colección Visionaria Edicion 03 is the third release in Brugal’s ambitious Colección Visionaria series, which challenges conventional perceptions of Dominican rum by presenting a distinctly drier and more complex style than the region is typically known for. The Brugal distillery, founded in 1888 in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, combines generations of artisanal expertise with innovative production techniques to create a rum of rare character.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Selected sugarcane distillates from the Dominican Republic, forming the foundation of Brugal’s characteristically dry and refined style
• Distillation process: Distilled at Brugal’s distillery in the Dominican Republic using the house’s traditional methods, resulting in a clean and dry rum profile with great complexity
• Maturation: Aged in new French oak casks that are filled with coconut pieces and subsequently toasted on the inside, after which the coconut pieces are removed before the rum is filled — a process that leaves subtle aromas of caramelised coconut and toasted wood in the cask
• Special techniques: The innovative use of coconut pieces during the toasting of the casks is a signature method of Edicion 03, imparting a subtle yet distinctive coconut nuance to the rum without overpowering its natural profile

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Soft and inviting aromas of vanilla pod and toasted oak with subtle hints of caramelised coconut and a lightly sweet fruity note in the background
• Palate: Dry and well-balanced body with prominent notes of toasted oak, vanilla pod and a delicate suggestion of caramelised coconut — characteristically dry in the Brugal Dominican style
• Finish: Long and fresh finish with layers of sweet citrus and a light bitter citrus peel, delivering an elegant and lingering conclusion

Serving Recommendations

• Serving temperature: Best enjoyed at room temperature (18–22°C) to highlight all the nuances of the flavour profile
• Glass recommendation: A tulip-shaped nosing glass or a Glencairn glass is recommended to concentrate the aromas and provide the best tasting experience
• Serving suggestions: Enjoy the rum neat or with a single ice cube to open up the aroma profile; it also works beautifully as a base in classic rum cocktails, where its dry character truly shines through
• Food pairings: Pairs excellently with dark chocolate, roasted coffee, aged cheeses, and dishes featuring citrus-based sauces and coconut milk

Product Specifications

• Alcohol content: 45% ABV
• Bottle size: 70 cl
• Country/region of origin: Dominican Republic
• Certifications/Awards: Part of the exclusive and acclaimed Colección Visionaria series from Brugal, praised by rum connoisseurs and specialists worldwide for its innovative approach to Dominican rum production
