Chocolate Barrel Smoked Rums

Brugal's Colección Visionaria is an Exploration in Innovation

— August 29, 2023 — Lifestyle
Dominican distillery Brugal newly introduced Colección Visionaria as an ongoing series dedicated to innovation and its first release is the world's first chocolate barrel smoked rum. Created using casks toasted with Caribbean cacao, this product takes on robust roastiness and notes of bittersweet chocolate. “One of my most cherished childhood memories is walking amongst the cacao trees surrounding my family home,” says Brugal’s fifth-generation maestra ronera, “I remember the lush and green cacao fields, the bittersweet scent of the cacao pods, and the rich aromas of roasted beans. It’s this memory I wanted to recreate with the first edition of Colección Visionaria.”

This limited release can be purchased for $100 a bottle and just four batches of this exclusive expression were distilled, meaning that only a select few will get to experience Edición 01 from Brugal.
