Tropenfrüchte und Honigsüß im Aroma, Süßrum, auch im Geschmack fruchtig ausgebaut.
Review by Dunzi
For me already too sweet, although in the finish is already also a sharpness.
Review by Steve Bobo
Very good with Ice cube in glass

Review by heckto🥃
fruchtig süßer Rum mit Honig- und Rosinennote. leicht scharf im Abgang.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Like most of the Riise range this rum is also kind of sweet. The first release of three XO Founders Reserve. Not a bad rum parse but I would have loved more kick with a higher ABV. Fruity and vegetal with a roasting note to it.
Review by Kamil Čmiel
It is a sweeter rum from a limited edition of three. Overall sales were so great that the company decided to expand with 3 more editions.
