A.H. Riise XO Reserve Rum Port Cask 6yr 45%

"Im Geruch. Süßlich mit ganz leichtem Rauchton und viel Gebäck. Der Rauch erinnert an lagerfeuer und weniger an getorftem Whisky. Dann Geschmack kommt dann der Rauch sehr stark und vollkommen überraschend. Das hätte ich bei diesem rum nicht erwartet. Wie für die Firma üblich sehr süß. Allerdings hat der Rauch etwas. Ich war positiv überrascht von diesem rum. Für mich bis jetzt das beste was ich von dieser Firma getrunken habe. Vor allem der Preis ist vergleichsweise zu seinen Artgenossen recht fair gestaltet."

"7,5:The rum nose is very sweet and fruity. Unlike the brand's other rums, the first moments are not marked by a few heavy exotic fruit notes. Here, we're immediately plunged into something syrupy, liquorish, like a fruit syrup. Cinnamon is clearly present, providing a pastry-like quality. The alcohol expresses itself and escapes from this thick liquid. Vanilla rounds out the finish, with melted candy sugar and candied citrus peel. Alcohol mingles with pepper and tickles the nose.Aeration confirms and reinforces the sweet, gently spicy profile. You'd expect a sweet rum, now refreshed by finer spices like cardamom, and a sweet, icy mint edge. With time, the rum settles on candied fruit and spices= Christmas cake character. 7,5:The palate reveals the hint of heaviness (very ripe, even cooked banana) that was not present in the first notes. The rum is gripping, acidic, high in alcohol but very sweet and full-bodied. The candied fruits and spices are full-bodied and consistent, catching the taste buds thanks to a coffee powder. 7,2:The finish is permeated with coffee, still with a candy-like impression that in the end is more reminiscent of cola."

"Slaďoučký náběh pana lékarníka. Karamel, vanilka, liskovy orisek v nose. V chuti je to hodně hodně sladké, ale to se tady dá čekat. Je to kulaté a už v puse to lepí. Myslím, že ženy toto musí milovat."

"Leider etwas zu süß für meinen Geschmack"

"weniger süß als seine Brüder aber immernoch recht süß. leichte Sherrynote und etwas sprittig im Abgang aber gut trinkbar."

"Call me insensitive but I cannot feel the difference from others. If there was any cask finish, I cannot tell because the flavour is killed by tons of sugar and artificial aka riise signature flavor. There are subtle nuances and changes here and there but you cannot tell whether it is just more diluted taste or just the compounds are addedin different rario. It is all the same to me. At least it has 45 abv."
