A refined, innovation-led limited release, Andrés Brugal Edición 02 pushes Dominican rum into a more modern, flavor-driven space.

A premium, collector-leaning rum that stands apart through both story and execution.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced in the Dominican Republic by Brugal, this expression is part of the Colección Visionaria, a series honoring the legacy of Andrés Brugal Montaner and the house’s forward-thinking approach to rum-making.

The defining element of Edición 02 is its aromatic cask treatment:

• Oak barrels are toasted using Dominican coffee beans, infusing the wood with rich, roasted aromatics
• The rum is then aged in these casks, allowing it to extract coffee, cocoa, and spice characteristics directly from the wood

This technique emphasizes flavor creation through wood interaction, rather than relying solely on extended aging.

Additional details:

• Crafted from molasses-based Dominican rum, carefully aged and blended
• Bottled at approximately 41.5% ABV (83 proof)
• Developed under the guidance of Maestra Ronera Jassil Villanueva
• Released in limited quantities as part of Brugal’s premium innovation series

The result is a rum that is structured, aromatic, and distinctly modern, with a profile that appeals beyond traditional rum drinkers.
