AH Riise XO Riserve 175 Anniversary Rum / 42% / 0.7l

The AH Riise brand takes its name from the Dane, Albert Heinrich Riise, who moved to the Caribbean in 1838.

On the island of St. Thomas, a Danish colony, he obtained a monopoly on pharmaceutical activity and alcohol production from the Danish government. The latter was initially produced in the form of rum and bitters, used to treat stomach ailments. Rum produced by a Danish botanist quickly gained popularity regardless of its medicinal functions. Over time, it began to be exported outside the Caribbean, including primarily to its native Denmark. Today, AH Spirits is one of the largest Scandinavian alcohol companies, whose portfolio includes many other brands and types of spirits in addition to the original AH Riise rum.

AH Riise XO Reserve 175 Anniversary Rum is a spirit created to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the brand's founding by Albert Heinrich Riise. It consists primarily of distillates matured for 21 years in American oak barrels. After blending, the rum undergoes additional maturation in Pedro Xiemenz and Oloroso sherry barrels. The rum appeared on the market in 2013, exactly 175 years after the doors of a new pharmacy opened on St. Thomas.
