Product description
The AH Riise brand takes its name from a 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 bitter herbal tinctures (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 1888 Copenhagen Gold Medal is a rum to commemorate the fact that AH Riise rum received a gold medal at the Nordiske Industri-Landbrugs & Kunstudstilling exhibition, which took place in Copenhagen in 1888. This event was so important for the AH Riise brand that years later it was decided to recreate the recipe of that rum from the end of the 19th century. It is a blend of distillates matured in oak barrels for a period of 7 to 21 years.
