A. H. Riise XO Founders Reserve No 6, 45.5%

Introduction

A.H. Riise XO Founders Reserve No 6 represents the pinnacle of Caribbean rum craftsmanship, honoring the legacy of Albert Heinrich Riise, the Danish pharmacist who established his distillery in the former Danish West Indies (now U.S. Virgin Islands) in 1838.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium Caribbean sugar cane derivatives sourced from traditional rum-producing regions, carefully selected for optimal quality and flavor potential.
• Distillation process: Meticulously distilled using both pot and column stills to achieve perfect balance between character and refinement.
• Maturation: Aged in carefully selected oak casks that previously held bourbon, sherry, and port, allowing for complex flavor development over many years.
• Special techniques: Utilizes a proprietary solera-inspired blending system where different aged spirits are married together to create exceptional depth and consistency.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich aromas of dried tropical fruits, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and hints of orange zest with subtle notes of cocoa and baking spices.
• Palate: Velvety and full-bodied with layers of caramelized sugar, dark chocolate, stewed fruits, and warm cinnamon. Nuances of tobacco, leather, and honey provide additional complexity.
• Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying with lingering notes of spiced oak, dried fruits, and a subtle touch of maritime salinity that reflects its Caribbean heritage.

Recommended Serving
