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.....

Im Gegensatz zu anderen Danish Navy's von A.H. Riise wird man am Gaumen sprittig begrüßt was aber nicht lange anhält. Schnell übernimmt die Süße das Kommando, welche Schokonoten und Vanille im Gepäck hat. Mittelprächtiger A.H. Riise aber durchaus trinkbar.
Review by Rumbaer
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 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. 7: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. 6,8:The finale is our shortbread dough, amply buttered and gently spiced.
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.

Was für eine süße Bombe. Ich schmecke neben der süsse noch etwas nuss und Schokolade. Meine Frau findet den Top. Für meinen Geschmack ist er einfach zu süß.
Review by Matthias Freynik
Zu süss. Dominiert alles.
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 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 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 MJ72
Mild und rund, sehr angenehm im Abgang und im Mundgefühl. Geschmacklich ein typischer Navy
