    Like most of the Riise range this rum is also kind of sweet. The first release of three XO Founders Reserve. Not a bad rum parse but I would have loved more kick with a higher ABV. Fruity and vegetal with a roasting note to it.

    For me already too sweet, although in the finish is already also a sharpness.

    Tropenfrüchte und Honigsüß im Aroma, Süßrum, auch im Geschmack fruchtig ausgebaut.

    Sehr süß, künstliche Aromen.
