How does this rum taste?
Most fans enjoy the ultra-sweet, fruity peach‑orange profile and mildness; critics call it cloying, artificial and more liqueur than rum. Consensus: a fun, sugary entry bottle if you like sweetness.
If you enjoy sweet liqueurs or other A.H. Riise bottlings, this will feel like a candy-like, easy sipper; if you usually like dry or complex rum, you’ll likely find it far too sweet.
Anyone avoiding added sugar, fans of dry/unsweetened or complex rums, and drinkers who dislike liqueur-like, artificial-tasting sweetness.

Angenehme süße trifft auf Orangen, Aprikosen und etwas zitrus. Ein tolles Getränk!
6,6:The nose announces a thick, sweet rum. It's a sort of mix of candy and berries, like a birthday party with tagada strawberries and grenadine. The caramelized sugar also makes you feel as if you're standing next to a cotton candy stand. A surprising air of lavender and citrus would have us think we were in Provence. Candied pomelo peel and fruits such as dried papaya bring a little freshness, or at least lift the rum a little from its syrupy side.The red fruits are confirmed with aeration, with a creaminess reminiscent of strawberry-milk lollipops. This is definitely a rhum bonbon, a concentrated syrup with a roundness all of its own. 5,5:The attack on the palate is very soft, with the thickness of a syrup and the sweetness of a confection. However, the candy is quite spicy and even pungent, like well peppered ginger. It remains rather light on the surface, gliding over the palate. Fruit candies melt on the tongue. 5:The finish will leave its mark on the taste buds for quite a long time, however, just the sweetness, a bit of a ginger flavor.
Sehr weicher runder Geschmack. Leicht ölig und angenehm süß.
Endlich ein Riise der mir schmeckt 😉 Farblich wie Gelbgold. Der Geruch nach Pfirsich, Orange und Zitrus. Im Geschmack ist das fruchtige dominant. Schön mild. Endlich mal nicht der typische Riise Geruch und Geschmack. Aber immer noch mit viel Zucker.
