A.H. Riise Non Plus Ultra Ambre d‘Or Excellence 25yr 42%

RX7778 Very good 12,000 bottles <100€

“Sweet, fruity, polarizing—like a peachy liqueur.”

The Non Plus Ultra Ambre d'Or Excellence from the Virgin Islands, selected by A.H. Riise, is a 25-year-aged molasses rum with a 42% ABV. It's characterized by intense notes of peach, vanilla, and orange. Users report a richly sweet and fruity profile, akin to a liqueur but likened to spiked plum compote with notes of floral vanilla. Though praised for its smoothness and fruity flavor, opinions on sweetness and synthetic impression vary widely. Released in a limited edition of 12,000 bottles, it divides enthusiasts, with some finding it too artificial, while others appreciate its unique dessert-like qualities. This rum can be polarizing with its pronounced sweetness and fruity aroma.

“This rum was matured in previous sauternes dessert wine and it shines through. Very sweet and oily but better than the XO versions. A taste of warm spices and ripe fruit.”

“The taste has notes of pickled plum with vanilla and a sherry-like sweetness - long aftertaste - but but it is sweet and probably has its audience, but not quite my taste.”

“Be careful if something needs to be called non plus ultra. This is an artificial tasting liqueur, similar to Don Papa, and obviously targeting the same group. My brother likes it, though.”

“Disgustingness you have a name. Came along as a free sample of rum and co and I can not imagine a more inappropriate addition product to a rum. I remain in the rating above 1 because at least there was no intoxication or nausea, but not much is missing. Inedible in the sense of "not approved as food" it is not, but a taste normal polled person can not enjoy it either. Most artificial peach flavors (so no peach but the industrial, disgusting taste) with a lot of sugar (also almost impossible to get down) and cheapest multi column alcohol. Unbelievably bad ... now first brush your teeth, throw the sample in the trash and bring down the garbage.”

“7,2:On the nose there are pickled yellow plums with orange peel, heather honey and a slightly aromatic roasted note from the oak barrels, shortbread cookies and a slightly floral, fragrant undertone. 8:On the palate the taste of the ripe and aromatic pickled plums dominates, but all the notes from the nose are present.Not bad, much better balanced than nose. 7,5:The finish has rum's rich, sweet flavor toned down very, very gradually. Rather complex spirit drink, made out of rums, inspite of sweetness.... For some special occasions.”

“Zusammen mit Serge "verkostet". Der Geruch allein war schon mehr als zu süß und zu künstlich. Habe mich dann nicht mal getraut diesen als Süßer für den Espresso zu nehmen. Wie man sowas als Sample bei einer Bestellung von einem Raconteur mitschicken kann ist schon sehr fraglich von Rum&Co.”

“As soon as you open the bottle, you are greeted by the aroma of exotic fruits. The palate is dominated by peach, apricot and spices. Of course, the typical A.H. Riise sweetness is not missing. A good rum but not the best of the brand.”

“Ein Rum mit ordentlich Zucker. Die Nase ist komplex, wird aber von der Suesse dominiert. Der Geschmack ist fruchtig mit viel Suesse. Der Abgang ist kurz und suess. Das die Rums von A H Riise suess sind, kann ich bestätigen. Wer wirklich auf sehr süße Rums steht, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Mir ist dieser Rum viel zu süß... sorry. Dieser Rum braucht Zeit im Glas.”

“Nase: Pfirsich, Lakritze, Anis, Erdbeer-Most, Banane, Desinfektionsmittel, im Hintergrund Tabak und Haselnuss. Gaumen: Initial süß und klebrig, keinesfalls „ölig“ wie wohl manche meinen. Dann sofort chemisch-künstlich, etwas Haselnuss und trotz der extremen Süße und Klebrigkeit auch alkoholisch. Sehr schlecht integrierter Alkohol, das muss man bei dem (angeblichen) Alter und der extremen Süße erst einmal hinbekommen, traurig. Im Abgang gesellt sich zur Chemie- und Alkoholnote auch noch Bitterkeit, die die Süße tatsächlich auch noch durchdringt. Schlimm, kommt mir nicht wieder ins Glas. Dieses Produkt ist genau so, wie Rum nicht sein sollte. Hat mit Rum nichts zu tun und ist wirklich ungenießbar.”

“Awful. Not rum. Retaste: okay, 2/10 is very harsh but I'm going to stick with it because it's far far far away from my taste. As I learned it had agreed on sauterne casks, I was interested in treating it again, but there's no our too little hint of sauterne, so I don't understand why, other than it's in interesting experiment that alas failed. So not worth the price. Great that I tasted it twice so I know what to avoid in the future.”

“Better than the regular ambre d'or but still there is some weird synthetic flavor that I despise.”
