Brugal, the Dominican ultra-premium rum brand, has released its latest flagship liquid, Maestro Reserva, crafted with a unique technique known as Dark Aromatic Toasting, developed exclusively by Brugal.
This method involves ageing the rum in premium American oak sherry casks, followed by an immediate toasting of the emptied casks. The rum is then reintroduced to absorb the delicate caramel pearls, and carefully aged under the Dominican sun, resulting in unparalleled smoothness and richness.

Bottled at 41.2% ABV, Maestro Reserva is presented in a bespoke glass decanter, its natural caramel hues hinting at the indulgent experience within.
