A. H. Riise, Black Barrel – Navy Spiced, 40%

Introduction

A.H. Riise Black Barrel Navy Spiced is a premium rum-based spirit that honors the maritime heritage of the legendary Danish pharmacist and rum producer Albert Heinrich Riise, who established his distillery in the Danish West Indies (now U.S. Virgin Islands) in the 19th century.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Selected Caribbean rums serve as the foundation for this distinguished spirit, sourced from traditional rum-producing regions.
• Distillation process: The base rums are carefully distilled using traditional methods before being blended to create a balanced spirit.
• Maturation: The rum blend is aged in specially charred “black barrels” which impart a rich depth and smoky character to the final product.
• Special techniques: After aging, the rum is infused with a proprietary blend of spices inspired by naval traditions, creating its distinctive “Navy Spiced” profile.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Warm vanilla and cinnamon greet the nose, followed by hints of nutmeg, clove, and dark caramel with subtle oak undertones.
• Palate: Rich and full-bodied with prominent notes of vanilla, toffee, and baking spices. The charred barrel influence adds complexity with hints of toasted oak and molasses.
