A.H. Riise Santos Dumont XO Super Premium Rum
Most fans enjoy it as a honey-sweet, coconut‑fruity dessert sipper; critics slam it as cloying, artificial and barely rum. Consensus: pleasant sweet spirit if you accept heavy dosing.
Those who love very sweet, liqueur-like rums (e.g. Don Papa fans), want an easy 40% sipper for dessert, or need an accessible crowd-pleaser for non-rum drinkers.

How does this rum taste?
Dessert-style, ultra-sweet crowd-pleaser
If you enjoy Don Papa or A.H. Riise sweetness bombs, this will feel familiar: low burn, big coconut-honey-caramel vibes. If you prefer dry, complex rum, you’ll likely find it too candy-like.
Anyone avoiding added sugar, seeking dry/complex rum character, or sensitive to cloying sweetness and artificial-tasting flavoring.
For the lover of sweet spirits, this will be a nice alternative to the classic A.H. Riise bottles. Both in taste and price. Santos Dumont XO combines Caribbean molasses and Brazilian cane juice. It's a sweet spirit, in an elegant bottle, that tastes of coconut, citrus, caramel, honey, vanilla. And the nice thing is that, despite the added sugar, you can taste the influence of sherry and port casks. No wonder that with a price tag of up to 50 € it is very popular in the sweet rum world.

Even though I’m not a fan of sweetened rum is this quite OK, maybe because it’s produced from sugar cane honey in pot stills and that that gives it another profile. Significant aromas and flavors is bananas, coconut and honey.
Pleasant through and through. Not complex in any way. Just smooth and pleasant. Sweet though, maybe to much in the long run.
This is also a very sweet rum but it's really fruity. Using it for baking, ice cream and desserts.
Excellent, palatable and very interesting rum. The longer you drink it, the more aromas it reveals. Sweet, fruity and spicy with a very interesting interplay of wood and roasted aromas. A very interesting interplay of aromas even after the glass is empty. For me a very good rum...exactly my taste!
