XO Reserve Christmas Rum (RX128)

The "XO Reserve Christmas Rum" is a 6-year-old rum produced in the Virgin Islands, distilled from molasses, and bottled by the independent bottler A.H. Riise. With an ABV of 40%, this seasonal rum is often associated with its wintry aromas, featuring notes of cinnamon, vanilla, gingerbread, and candied fruits. On the palate, it reveals a mix of vanilla, sweet cinnamon, baking spices, and caramel flavors. According to RumX users, it is a fairly sweet rum that can be enjoyed as a dessert drink. It offers an interesting blend of fruitiness and warm spices, making it a unique festive sipper. However, some users found it too sweet or artificial for their tastes. Overall, it is a rum with pleasant notes suitable for the holiday season, but not without its fair share of mixed opinions.

Das kann nicht als Rum durchgehen. Wer einen winterlich gewürzten Schnaps sucht, wird hier eventuell fündig, alle anderen sollten einen großen Bogen machen. Im Mund empfinde ich diese Spirituose ziemlich nahe an der Grenze zum Ekelhaften :-(

Christmas in your mouth. Essentially classical riise with another additional ton of spices, this time a Christmas selection. It reminds me a Chairman's Reserve spiced edition, only I would go with Chairman's all the time. Not to mention I could afford almost 3 bottles in price of 1 riise.

Sladký rum...nebo spíše to ani není rum. Všechny chutě a.h.riise jsou si podobné protože jsou dělané na stejném základě.

Ich mag Riise Rum, zumindest bisher alle die ich probiert habe. Aber ich frag mich immer, ob man Riise Rum als „echten“ Rum bezeichnen kann, da so gut wie immer süß und teilweise künstlich im Geschmack, zumindest bei den „günstigeren“ Flaschen. Aber ich mag Süßrum und somit Riise Rum. Einige Riise habe fruchtigen Geschmack und anderen gehen in Richtung Schoko/Karamell/Toffee. Dieser hier ist eine Mischung. Pfirsich Geschmack gemischt mit Toffee Geschmack. Interessant, aber so ganz überzeugt er mich nicht. Gut aber nicht sehr gut. Außerdem etwas scharf und würzig, was mir weniger gefällt. Immer noch ein guter Rum aber für mich keiner der Top Riise Rums.
