Despite the naval styling, this drinks closer to a Christmas dessert than a rum. Expect buttery cake batter, gingerbread, candied orange peel and chocolate, all wrapped in heavy sweetness. Several tasters found the sugar covers everything else, and one flat-out called it "a liqueur" rather than rum. Pleasant if you know what you're getting; frustrating if you want spirit character to show.
The community says- Gingerbread & chocolate
- Soft, round mouthfeel
- Keep in mind: High sugar content

How does A.H. Riise Royal Danish Navy Naval Cadet taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Very sweet, spiced, more dessert than rum Opinions land all over the place. Fans of sweet, spiced sippers enjoy the gingerbread and chocolate; plenty of others say the extreme sweetness flattens it into liqueur territory.

Mir fällt hier nur eins ein: SÜß und zwar extrem süß. 66 gramm Zucker auf den Liter lügen nicht. Der erschlägt leider alle anderen Aromen. Das ist mehr ein Likör und hat mit Rum nicht mehr viel zu tun. Würde ich nicht mehr trinken.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
08.12.2025 Day 8 of my Christmas Calendar and still a very sweet rum. The nose is very light but does have some Christmas spice notes ---------- Another sweet release and I hope that in the future they will reduce the sweetness a bit because it really doesn't become well at all. I do also know that they want to make rum for the masses and beginners.....
Review by LukaŽiga
7,3:The nose is immediately reminiscent of buttery cake batter, sprinkled with a few mild spices, and why not a handful of nuts? We've also added a few candied orange peels and a sprinkling of rum-soaked dried fruit.With aeration, our cake takes on a clearer, more speculoos or gingerbread-like character. The buttery, shortbread aspect is quite striking, with the spices surfing on an almost cereal-like mellowness. 6:The palate is as round as expected, and is quickly lined with a syrupy liquor. The spirit's power is thus largely covered, making it particularly approachable. The spices quietly detail themselves on the taste buds, with a generous pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, then fruits like cherries and candied oranges take over. 5,1The finale is our shortbread dough, amply buttered and gently spiced.
Review by heckto🥃
Unlike other Danish Navy's from A.H. Riise, you are greeted with a spirituous palate which doesn't last long. Quickly the sweetness takes over, carrying chocolate notes and vanilla. Mediocre A.H. Riise but quite drinkable.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
What a sweet bomb. Besides the sweetness, I taste some nuts and chocolate. My wife thinks it's top. For my taste, it's just too sweet.
Review by Kay Meertens
The nose is more flat than the regular Danish Navy. Caramel and sugar peanuts. The taste is all about candied orange peel. A sweet finish. Overall I like the normal Danish Navy a bit better, even though that one isn't that impressive either.
Review by ThreeH
A bottle for which I can't deny a certain bias - considering the expected sweetness. The color is quite nice, probably at least partly added. The nose impression then not bad at all. The Christmas notes and cookie associations are rather in the background and therefore not so sweet in impression. On the palate, however, a full load of sweetness with added flavors. Liqueur-like. Speculoos, wintry spice memories come up. And that right in the middle of summer - strange. Well, what can I say. Is this a rum? - not really. Is this a dessert at and around Christmas? - why not, if you like it.
Review by Old Sport
Nose: Spice, pine needles, basil, cinnamon Taste: caramel, cloves, gingerbread, chocolate with mint or ginger Finish: sweet, spicy (mainly ginger) and citrus notes
Review by Berry1998
First bottle from this brand and pleasantly surprised. The texture is quite syrupy and sticks well on your palate. Orange with spices and something creamy. Nice rum.
Review by MJ72
Mild and round, very pleasant in the finish and mouthfeel. Taste-wise a typical Navy
Review by Scotty1960
A bit of vanilla, minimal sherry. In taste and finish chocolate nutty. Short finish and more sweetness.
Review by Vincent Gourvest
Leans towards hazelnut, nice impression.
Review by Tola76
The A.H. Riise Naval Club Rum smells sweet and spicy. On the palate, it is smooth, but the flavors fade quickly. Spices and the fresh mint note stand out much more than fruit, giving it a rather spicy-fresh profile.
Review by Kasper
Burnt candy sweet with an awful hint of sweetener. Way to sweet for me though the burnt candy actually has something good in it. Alas, for me it's a low score.
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
The description says that this is a sweet rum. I would not classify this as a rum, rather a liqueur. The description on the bottle is quite accurate in that sense: 'superior spirit drink made from premium matured rum'. I would not sell this as a rum, but as a liqueur it is okay.
Review by Matthias Freynik
Too sweet. Dominates everything.
