A.H. Riise Non Plus Ultra La Galante
Sweet-tooth drinkers who want dessert in a glass are the natural fit here. Think orange peel, vanilla, brown sugar and toasted oak, with an oily, syrupy body one taster called a "rum bonbon." Several members flag it as very sweet and slightly artificial, and a few say it barely reads as rum. Pretty bottle, gentle at 43.4%, easy to like if candied sweetness is your thing.
The community says- Orange and vanilla
- Round oily body
- But: Too sweet

Very sweet, orange-vanilla dessert sipper Most find it rich, round and genuinely tasty — orange, vanilla and caramel — but "too sweet" comes up again and again, and purists say it strays far from traditional rum.

Review by heckto🥃
A spicy rum with citrus notes. Multi-faceted and quite complex. Not as sweet as others in the Non Plus Ultra range but still a sweet rum for beginner palates. Nutty-woody in the finish. Very easy-drinking, I like it.

Un nez intense et opulent, gourmand, presque pâtissier de sucre brun et sucre muscovado parsemé de vanille bourbon, de fruits confits comme des figues et des dattes avec un zeste d’orange. Le bois de chêne toasté s’exprime ensuite ainsi qu’une pointe de tabac blond et de mélasse. En bouche le rhum s’exprime par sa rondeur, douce et enveloppante de caramel beurre salé, crème brûlée. Les fruits secs tel l’amande et la noisette se précise derrière des épices douces de cannelle et de muscade avec une légère touche de chocolat noir. La texture de ce breuvage est sirupeuse, très soyeuse et sans agressivité. La final est longue, chaleureuse et sucrée. Retour sur la vanille, le bois noble et un léger côté épicé. Persistance gourmande.

Has nothing to do with rum
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
02.12.2025 Day 2 of my Christmas Calendar. Still find this one really sweet, but one of the better releases. --------- Beautiful bottle but still a very sweet rum. Almost as sweet as the black edition. Price to quality is a bit off in my mind
Review by Dirk E.
Ein sehr schöner Rum, ganz nach meinem Geschmack.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste is sweet, rich and complex, spicy and well-rounded with hints of vanilla, orange and lemon. Rich, creamy and long aftertaste. Leave it in the glass for a bit and let it breathe before you taste it 👍
Review by Reto Schwab
Sehr lecker!
Review by LukaŽiga
7,2:The nose has a jammy sweetness of orange peel and mild spices, like a liqueur. There's also a hint of cake dough, with a buttery, sandy feel, like a cinnamon and cardamom cookie. With aeration, a hint of coffee aroma emerges, adding a little more depth. The cookie is spicier and more toasted, but the vanilla and sweet orange flavors continue to ensure a delicious finish. 7,5:The palate is very sweet, even liquorish, and the pastry profile of this rum bonbon is immediately apparent. Sweet spices and cake take shape on the palate, with a very gourmand and round thickness. Vanilla and orange liqueur flow slowly and abundantly, until they coat the whole taste bud. 7:The finish is very round, but very sweet, giving way to slightly roasted spices and a touch of liquorice. A spirit for sugary drinks lovers🙂.

L’un des meilleurs rhum du monde Complexe en bouche, palette de senteur au nez et en bouche hors du commun Raffiné et gourmand Finale de cacahouète grillé
Review by Jo Hoo
Süß und intensiv Aromenreich, für manche Rumenthusiasten nix echtes...aber er schmeckt halt schon verdammt lecker 😊 und leider auch ein bisschen künstlich, was bei mir zur Abwertung führt.
Review by Kay Meertens
It was in a Riise's sample set. This one is the average of the whole range, with the typical notes and nothing else. And way too sweet.
Review by Josef Barot
Sladká chuť kandovaného ovoce jemná závěr slabý diky za vzorek od prodejce jako bonus že jsem mohl ochutnat lahev kterou bych si jinak nekoupil
Review by Jan Havelka

Oranges + pine, juniper
Review by hubo
In der Nase Vanille, Röstaromen, Nuss und Holznoten. Am Gaumen kommen die Nussnoten deutlicher hervor, dazu gebrannte Mandeln und Schokolade. Sehr vollmundig und rund, sehr süss. Das volle, cremig-samtige Mundgefühl bleibt lange.
Review by Anonymous
Sehr angenehmer Blend, im Geruch Zitrone Orange Vanille. Braucht Zeit zum Atmen. Auf der Zunge Ölig fruchtig Holzig und lang. Schöner nachhaltiger Abgang in einer fantastischen Flasche die sich super präsentieren lässt.
Review by MJ72
Vanille und Orange im Vordergrund. Typische Riise süße mit öligem Abgang.
Review by gary0067
Le sucre est moins présent, sûrement dû au goût d'agrumes
