A.H. Riise XO 1888 Copenhagen Gold Medal Rum
Solid crowd-pleaser for sweet-toothed beginners, with intense peach, orange and honey notes at very low strength. Widely enjoyed as a dessert-like sipper despite its divisive, heavily sweetened style.
Those who enjoy very sweet, mild, fruity spirits or liqueur-like rums, want an easy first A.H. Riise, or like using sweet rum over ice cream or in dessert-style cocktails.

How does this rum taste?
Extreme sweet-fruity beginner pleaser
If you like Zacapa-style sweetness or dessert liqueurs, this takes it up a notch with peachy, orange candy notes and almost no burn—but it will be far too sweet for classic-rum fans.
Drinkers seeking dry, traditional rum character, anyone avoiding added sugar, or those sensitive to artificial-tasting aromas and very high 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.
