" My family deeply embraces the elegance and soul of Brugal rum , and I ' ve absorbed a wealth of wisdom from the generations of Maestro Roneros who came before me ," shares Jassil Villanueva Quintana . " By leveraging this knowledge and my unwavering passion , all while paying homage to the Brugal family legacy , I ' ve crafted a rum that is " moment perfect ." My hope is that Maestro Reserva graces all of life ' s big celebrations , alongside cherished ones , forging moments that will endure for centuries to come ."
Brugal ' s proprietary " Dark Aromatic Toasting " process naturally sweetens the liquid to create a rum that is free of external sugars and additives . After aging in premium American sherry oak casks , the rum is emptied and carefully placed aside . The American sherry oak casks are immediately toasted using precision , mastery and expertise to extract natural caramel pearls that are drawn from the sugars in the wood . The casks are then re-filled with the rum , absorbing the delicate caramel pearls created in the wood before being carefully aged under the Dominican sun .
The result is a smooth and rich liquiid defined by sweet vanilla creaminess , velvety caramel and awakened by a hint of smoke .
Once complete , Maestro Reserva is a l prestige sipping rum with natural caramel hues , best enjoyed neat or over ice . On the nose , the rum is oaky and presents red fruits with a hint of smoke balanced by caramel and honey . On the palate , flavours of vanilla and caramel emerge , giving way to subtle notes of dark chocolate and dried fruits with a hint of toasted nuts and orange peel . Maestro Reserva is presented in a beautiful bespoke glass decanter .
In support of the brand ' s focus on sustainability , the secondary packaging for Maestro Reserva is ecofriendly and fully recyclable .
Maestro Reserva (£ 160 RRP ) is available to purchase from Selfridges , The Whiskey Exchange and Masters of Malt
