Brugal is closing the chapter on its limited-edition Colección Visionaria series with the launch of Colección Visionaria Edición 03, Coconut, a final expression that celebrates Dominican culture, craftsmanship, and the island’s deep connection to rum.
Created by fifth-generation Maestra Ronera Jassil Villanueva Quintana, the release marks the completion of a three-part exploration of Dominican heritage through Brugal’s innovative Aromatic Cask Toasting technique — a process that brings together carefully selected ingredients and French oak casks to create a unique expression of Dominican rum.
A Tribute to the Dominican Republic
For the final edition of Colección Visionaria, Villanueva selected coconut, an ingredient deeply woven into the identity of the Dominican Republic. From the country’s coastal landscapes to its culinary traditions and everyday rituals, coconut represents the warmth, hospitality, and natural beauty of the island.
Using Dominican coconuts to toast French oak casks, Brugal creates a rum that balances tropical character with the complexity and elegance expected from the Colección Visionaria series.
The result is a layered, sophisticated rum with notes of creamy vanilla, burnt sugar, coconut water, citrus, caramel, toasted oak, and subtle spice.
A Collector’s Expression Built for the Back Bar
Bottled at 45% ABV, Colección Visionaria Edición 03 showcases Brugal’s continued focus on innovation while honoring more than 135 years of Dominican rum-making tradition.
The expression features Brugal’s signature protective netting, updated in navy blue to match the Colección Visionaria collection, with each bottle individually sealed by hand, signed by Jassil Villanueva Quintana, and marked with its batch number.
With only six batches produced worldwide and fewer than 35,000 bottles available, this final release offers bartenders and rum enthusiasts a unique opportunity to showcase a limited expression with a strong sense of place.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Creamy vanilla and burnt sugar reminiscent of caramel, with sweet lemon, coconut water, toasted notes, and wood spice.
Palate: Rich and enveloping, with orange peel, coconut water, vanilla, caramel, and layers of toasted oak and smoky character.
Finish: Lingering spice, toasted oak, toffee, and soft almond sweetness.
Inspiration Behind the Bar
For bartenders, Colección Visionaria Edición 03 provides an opportunity to explore how place, ingredients, and technique can influence a spirit’s identity. The coconut-driven profile naturally lends itself to tropical and modern rum cocktails while offering enough depth for spirit-forward serves.
Whether featured in a premium rum tasting, a refined tropical cocktail, or enjoyed neat, this release showcases how rum continues to evolve beyond traditional expectations.
