Among Dominicans, Brugal Extra Viejo is very popular. Among people with experience drinking other alcoholic beverages-whiskey (bourbon or Scotch)- Barcel? Imperial (at RD$579 a bottle) is often preferred. Berm?dez Aniversario is also quoted as being a fine drink.
Recently (last year or so) Siboney Red Label is getting some play.
For mixed drinks-Cuba Libres and Daiqueries-you can use almost anything--except 151 proof!!! FGS!!
Use of 151 proof: Core a pinapple and fill the core with 151. Repeat. Put the pinapple (cut up) into your fruit punch....Watch the fun!!!

If you can find Barcel Imperial 21 Anniversary Rum it is by far the best Domincan Rum. It comes in a tin and costs about 1500RD if you can find it.
You can mistake it for a fine Cognac if you put it in a snifter.
I have to say I really love Brugal - we bring some back every time we go, that and coffee lol! But I'm no connosieur of rum as I don't like any other. I remember the first time I went to DR and came back in rum mood and went out for a meal and asked for a rum and coke and it was disgusting! Unfortunately we can't get Brugal here so it means we have to visit DR as often as possible - not the best excuse for a holiday but it works for us!
Siglo de Oro is by far the best you can buy.......it comes around once per year, and is guaranteed to be at least 100 yrs old.....and yes it comes in a porcelain bottle....I just bought 6 bottles and dam is it good......and you don?t mix this with coke or anything else, if you do, you waste some good rum, when you can buy a bottle for 100 pesos for mixing
I agree that it is somehow a "crime" to mix good rum with Coca-Cola !!!
After spending 2 weeks in Haiti enjoying Barbancourt sundowner almost everyday, I had yesterday 2 regular Barcel? a?ejo on the rocks, and I woke up today with a headache !!! That's the price to pay when one drinks cheap rum !
(I never ever had a headache after drinking Barbancourt

(I never ever had a headache after drinking Barbancourt
)So what IS the big deal with the BLUE bottle? Is it worth the $53USD they were charging in the duty free at the airport? I bought a bottle of Barcelo Imperial...and have a decent supply here....gotta admit I'm a big fan of RED LABEL n coke......Brugal uhhhhh (not so much)
Ideally, though Pyrat Pistol Rum.....it's smoooooooooth.
