    "Another sweet release and I hope that in the future they will reduce the sweetness a bit because it really doesn't become well at all. I do also know that they want to make rum for the masses and beginners....."

    "Im Gegensatz zu anderen Danish Navy's von A.H. Riise wird man am Gaumen sprittig begrüßt was aber nicht lange anhält. Schnell übernimmt die Süße das Kommando, welche Schokonoten und Vanille im Gepäck hat. Mittelprächtiger A.H. Riise aber durchaus trinkbar."

    "7,3:The nose is immediately reminiscent of buttery cake batter, sprinkled with a few mild spices, and why not a handful of nuts? We've also added a few candied orange peels and a sprinkling of rum-soaked dried fruit.With aeration, our cake takes on a clearer, more speculoos or gingerbread-like character. The buttery, shortbread aspect is quite striking, with the spices surfing on an almost cereal-like mellowness. 7:The palate is as round as expected, and is quickly lined with a syrupy liquor. The spirit's power is thus largely covered, making it particularly approachable. The spices quietly detail themselves on the taste buds, with a generous pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, then fruits like cherries and candied oranges take over. 6,8:The finale is our shortbread dough, amply buttered and gently spiced."
