    Sweetness is what reviewers notice first about the Royal Danish Navy Rum, with many highlighting dominant flavors of caramel, candied orange, and a mellow vanilla aroma. It's especially popular in colder months or as a dessert pairing, where its syrupy profile and creamy mouthfeel shine. While seasoned enthusiasts sometimes find it overly sweet, newcomers often choose it for its smooth, approachable style and festive, wintery spice.

     Very artificial-looking rum. Sweet, slightly fruity, somehow roasted, nutty and wintry spicy. Not subterranean, but not good either.

     The first rum, which caused me to fall in love with rums. It's heavy, sweet and fruity (mostly orange and raisins). Most of the rum lovers hate A.H. Riise for their sweetness but to be honest, if somebody ask me, how the sailor's rum should taste, first which I will told - sweet and heavy, like you will drink a bread.

     A tasting from december 2018. Back then, this was okay for me, but today it would be way too sweet. And it would not be called rum today. It is sweet and a bit spicy in the nose, and very sweet in the taste, with notes of candied apples and some spice.

     Süßer, fruchtiger Riise der sich durch die Schokonoten von seinen noch fruchtigeren Brüdern unterscheidet.
