"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."
"fruchtig süßer Rum mit Honig- und Rosinennote. leicht scharf im Abgang."
"Sehr süß, künstliche Aromen."
