The founder of the company, Don Andrés Brugal Montaner, left his home country Spain in order to achieve wealth in the Caribbean.
After learning the craft of rum making in Cuba, he moved to the Dominican Republic, more precisely to Puerto Plata, around 1855. In this city the rums of the company Brugal still mature today.
After a few years there, he succeeded in developing a production process that ensures the consistent quality of the rum. This secret is now passed on from generation to generation.
The Brugal Extra Viejo Ron is a premium rum, which after its distillation matures for up to eight years in hand-picked American oak barrels.
