A.H. Riise XO Founders Reserve 1st Edition
Loved by MJ72, Steve Bobo & 9 more
A newcomer-friendly, very sweet sipper with caramel, honey, raisins and tropical fruit. RumX members enjoy it chilled or on ice; the gentle 44.5% ABV keeps it approachable despite the sweetness.

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.
