AH Riise Pharmacy Liquorice Shot / 18% / 0.7l
- Very dense on the palate, although round and smooth, the licorice flavor is combined with a slightly vegetable and woody character. Quite a long, sweet finish.
Product description
The history of the AH Riise brand began in June 1838, when Albert Heinrich Riise became the sole pharmacist on the island of Saint Thomas, and thus obtained a monopoly on the production of alcohol in his pharmacy there. Thanks to colonialism, the company had access to the best exotic goods, which it could later supply to the Old Continent. Thanks to its rums, Riise has made a name for itself around the world, but apart from its flagship premium products, matured in different ways, the company also produces other, equally interesting alcohols.
AH Riise Pharmacy Liquorice Shot
The presented product is based on vodka with the addition of English liquorice, powdered liquorice root and salty liquorice. Originally composed to help with stomach ailments. On the nose it is very concentrated and sweet, reminiscent of sugar cane molasses with liquorice aromas. Very dense on the palate, although round and smooth, the liquorice flavor is combined with a slightly herbal and woody character. Quite a long, sweet finish.
Perfect for the previously mentioned cases, but it also works great in cocktails, giving them a sweet and intense character.
