About
An exclusive limited edition that embodies Brugal’s visionary spirit and 130 year rum making expertise. Handpicked Dominican ingredients are toasted in the finest casks using a unique aromatic cask toasting process, crafted by our 5th generation of Brugal family maestros, that infuses the casks with natural aromas before the rum is aged, leading to an exquisite rum that’s rich, elegant, and rounded. For this first edition, our Maestra Jassil Villanueva selected cacao, one of the most cherished ingredients of the Dominican Republic. This unique aromatic cask toasting with cacao captures her memories of home and rich notes of dark chocolate and toasted nuts, beautifully balanced with citrus fruit and vanilla. Best enjoyed neat.

Nice Rum, But Needs More Chocolate
The distiller advertises the Brugal Colección Visionaria Edición 01, Cacao as having distinct aromas of hot chocolate, toasted oak, spices, and citrus balanced by subtle notes of vanilla. All captured by aging the rum in French oak barrels using a unique seasoning process. Nope. The rum is fairly smooth on the tongue, not harsh, and it's ok as an after-dinner drink or for late-evening sipping. But it's certainly not a dessert substitute for a chocolate-flavored treat. The boasting led me to expect something more when I opened the bottle. A good rum… but not the vision or special edition I hoped to enjoy.
