A.H. Riise Family Reserve Solera 1838 Rum

A bold aroma of vanilla, marzipan, and sweet spice leads to a full, creamy palate with pronounced sweetness and orange zest. Lovers of dessert-style, sweet rums find it rewarding, but those seeking dry or complex expressions may look elsewhere.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Velvety dessert-like sweetness
    • Smooth vanilla and marzipan notes
    • Crowd-pleasing creamy texture

    Sweetness takes center stage in A.H. Riise's Family Reserve Solera 1838, with rich waves of vanilla, marzipan, and caramelized notes backed by cinnamon, citrus, and hints of tobacco. The creamy, dessert-like style is a favorite among those who enjoy softer, sweeter rums. Worth exploring if you're drawn to approachable, confectionery-driven pours.

    "Not as fruity as the XO reserve, but still way too sweet for me. A bit creamy but the sweetness kills what could have been good. "

    "In der Nase ein angenehmer Karamell/Vanille Duft. Am Gaumen Zitrusfrüchte und ein Hauch Tabak. Ein weicher und trotzdem würziger Rum von A.H. Riise. Gut ausgewogen und wie immer sehr süss. Mir gefällt er."

    "Ein gut gemeintes Geschenk. Eine Spirituose auf Rumbasis. Viel zu künstlich und gezuckert. Für mich persönlich kein Rum, zumindest kein ehrlicher. Zugegebenermaßen süffig, aber soll das unbedingt so sein? Für Liebhaber von süßen Likören jedoch geeignet."

    "7,5:On the nose, cinnamon from the beginning... There's also some clove and some vanilla. There's a hint of licorice from the molasses, but it's the cinnamon overpowering. Aeration brings to mind some soda notes, as Cola first, then a spicy cola like a Dr.Pepper. Then the ginger comes in and we think more of a ginger ale. There's always an impression of spicy confectionery, like these pepper and cinnamon chewing gums. 7,5:On the palate, this is thick and sweet rum with the orange zest as the first impression. In the middle of the palate, there's a lot of molasses. Of course, the omnipresent cinnamon on the nose makes a come back, with some fruity notes. 7:The finish is medium, sweet with cinnamon, there is a feeling of a sugar powder left..."
