A.H. Riise XO 1888 Copenhagen Gold Medal Rum

"Flavors of warm spices, Christmas cake and orange peel, ending with a hint of English wine gums The aftertaste has notes of dried fruit, old oak and sherry"

"The sweet taste also comes out clearly here. Fruits like mango can be tasted"

"I got a batch of samples and time to rate them. In general A. H. Riise rums are sweet and this one is no exception. A very sweet and fruity rum with some vanilla and caramel. I usually use these rums to spice up my icecream 😊"

"This rum is very sweet and tastes somewhat artificial, reminiscent of Dr. Oetker Rum Aroma. When retesting, the artificial aroma was almost non-existent, which significantly enhances the rum."

"Another packet of sugar from A.H. Riise. I'll never get the bottle empty. I always offer it to visitors who don't think much of rum. It always tastes really good to them 😀 Those who like it sweet will like it."

"Too sweet, too artificial. Tastes like a lot of added sugar, but we know that from A.H. Riise. Had it again today in the sample set I received as a gift. Extremely sweet, unpleasantly artificial. I even had to reduce the score again (-5). Fortunately, others liked it, so I don't have to throw it away."

"Another representative of the flavored and sweetened high-proof spirit category. Smells and tastes like chewing gum. Sweet and fruity, you can drink it, but you don't have to. Fortunately, the sample is empty."

"Vanille, Karamell und tropische Früchte gepaart mit der Riise-typischen Süße. Eine leicht angenehme Schärfe im Abgang rundet das Bild ab. Markenliebhaber werden nicht enttäuscht, ich finde ihn so naja aber meine Frau liebt ihn."

"What a weird thing. It is a terrible rum and a terrible liqueur. It isn't quite alcoholic and unspectacular. I really don't get this. If I want a rum it's not good. If I want a sweet treat it is too alcoholic, expensive too!"

"I'm not sure, but it's probably my first AH RIISE controversy. I confess that at first nose I thought it was an industrial classic, then came the sugar, the strawberry tagada, the raspberry brandy... intriguing... sweet, rather short finish, but surely nice for beginners."

"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."

"My first A.H. Riise. To sweet for me, but enjoyable and funny."

"Delicious, simple sweet rum to enjoy with a balanced distribution of fruit and spice."

"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."

"Unnaturally sweet"
