Rum from Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is located on the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean and borders on Haiti. The country is very famous for the production of rum. This is no surprise, as the tropical climate offers excellent conditions for growing sugar cane. The most famous rum brands from the Dominican Republic are Brugal Rum, Matusalem Rum, Cubaney Rum, Barcelo Rum, Quorhum Rum, Opthimus Rum and Atlantico Rum. The rum from the Dominican Republic is significantly softer and milder compared to South American rum varieties. This is one reason why it has become so popular with connoisseurs.
