A. H. Riise XO Reserve Christmas

Silná slaďárna, každá kapka obsahuje vánoce, hřebíček a skořice ve 40 %

Great for christmas! Waint! It should be against the law to have a christmas without this rum

Super god Rom til prisen, virkelig lækker i smagen af jul og godt til alle, smager som mange andre AH Rom

Sweetness 10/10
Overall 8/10

A great rum for the holidays. Very sweet (maybe too much for some), but vere enjoyable and great for beginners (like me).

Söt och god. Smakar kanel och pepparkaka med en lite stark eftersmak.Annorlunda rom som är riktigt god.

A.H.Riise Christmas dozrával v sudech po sherry Pedro Ximenez. To mu přidalo na bohatosti a rum získal vánoční kořeněnou chuť po hřebíčku, skořici a pomeranči. Závěr je sametově jemný, lehce sladký. Výroba tohoto rumu je omezena, každý sud je vybrán osobně masterem destillerem. Každá láhev je opatřena číslem sudu a datem stáčení.

I was very curious, but big disappointment after taste. So sweet and so flavored. It taste like sweet raisins. Maybe not bad only for Christmas atmosphere, but not for normal sipping.

Honiggelb im Glas.
In der Nase zurückhaltend und unaufdringlich. Da wird zu Weihnachten ein ganz besonderes Fass mit allerlei Leckereien befüllt. Reife tropische Früchte, Bananen, Karamell, Vanille, Lakritze, Nüsse...
Am Gaumen besinnlich und weich. Orangen, Bananen und Karamell sind die heiligen Könige und zeigen Präsenz. Holz, Vanille und Kakaonuancen sind eher die Schafe am Bildrand.
Im Abgang lang und süss. Orangen, Nüsse und Lakritze erlöschen mit der letzten Kerze am Weihnachtsbaum.
Ein anspruchsloser Rum der Festtagen sicher Allen gefällt. Für Beginner und Süssrümler.

Honey yellow in the glass.
In the nose restrained and unobtrusive. There is a very special barrel filled with all kinds of goodies at Christmas. Ripe tropical fruits, bananas, caramel, vanilla, licorice, nuts....
Contemplative and soft on the palate. Oranges, bananas and caramel are the holy kings and make their presence felt. Wood, vanilla and cocoa nuances are rather the sheep on the edge of the picture.
Long and sweet on the finish. Oranges, nuts and licorice go out with the last candle on the Christmas tree.
An unpretentious rum of the festive season certainly pleases all. For beginners and sweet rum drinkers.

Very interesting rum from A. H. Riise as per usual :-) Even has 40 % it is very strong. Smell is like ginger bread and it also tastes like that :) I can taste almonds, cinnamon, caramel and honey.

Rating as the first one from calendar we are starting at 8/10 :)

This is recommended för Christmas and will give your friends something to talk about because it is not that common. Must for the Rum collector!
