The XO Sauternes Cask Rum is a unique 6-year-old rum hailing from the Virgin Islands and bottled by A.H. Riise. Distilled from molasses with an ABV of 42%, this rum harmonizes sweet and fruity notes. Aromas of peaches, honey, sweet apricot, and vanilla captivate the nose, while flavors of peaches, honey, sweet caramel, and a hint of synthetic character please the palate. While some users appreciated its peachy and sweet profile, likening it to a liqueur, others felt that it lacked the complexity desired in a traditional rum. Those who enjoy A.H. Riise's creations and are looking for a sweet, fruity experience will find that the XO Sauternes Cask Rum delivers. However, if you're searching for a more complex and classic rum experience, this one might not be for you.

„I'd say that the cask finish destroyed this one pretty well. Maybe good for baking actually.“

„Dieser (Rum) Likör ist für mich eine essenzielle Zutat in manchen Cocktails, weil er ein wirklich spannendes Aroma zwischen Walnus und Marille mit sich bringt und ansonsten ist es ein leckerer Likör - ein Rum ist er in meinen Augen aber nicht - eher in einer Liga mit dem Dry Curacao von Ferrand - der ja auch kein Cognac ist. Und da ist schon das Problem, dass er dafür preislich etwas zu sehr zulangt. (Ich habe ihn hier jetzt nicht als Rum bewertet, sondern für das, was er mir als Spirituose an sich bringt)“

„Zucker, Alkohol und einen Pfirsich-Note. Erinnert mich an schlechten Marillenlikör oder Ähnliches“
