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
- Keep in mind: Too sweet

How does A.H. Riise Non Plus Ultra La Galante taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
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.

Most helpful positive review
An intense and opulent nose, gourmand, almost pastry-like with brown sugar and muscovado sugar sprinkled with bourbon vanilla, candied fruits like figs and dates with a zest of orange. The toasted oak wood then expresses itself along with a hint of blond tobacco and molasses. On the palate, the rum expresses itself with a roundness, sweet and enveloping of salted butter caramel, crème brûlée. Dried fruits like almond and hazelnut become clearer behind soft spices of cinnamon and nutmeg with a slight touch of dark chocolate. The texture of this beverage is syrupy, very silky and without aggressiveness. The finish is long, warm and sweet. Return to vanilla, noble wood and a slight spicy side. A gourmand persistence.

Has nothing to do with 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.
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.
A very nice rum, just to my taste.
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
Very tasty!
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🙂.
Review by J-p Schoum
One of the best rums in the world Complex on the palate, extraordinary palette of scents on nose and palate Refined and indulgent Finish of roasted peanut
Review by Jo Hoo
Sweet and intense, rich in aromas, for some rum enthusiasts nothing real... but it tastes damn delicious 😊 and unfortunately a bit artificial, which leads me to rate it lower.
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
Sweet taste of candied fruit, gentle finish, weak. Thanks for the sample from the seller as a bonus that I could taste a bottle I wouldn't have bought otherwise.
Review by Jan Havelka
I can't help but I smell and taste a lot of alcohol ..more than it has... Still quite sweet though....
Review by Pavel Spacek
Oranges + pine, juniper
Review by Al Bunda
Hodne alkoholová a Intenzivní a vůně, příjemně ovocné , s tóny karamelu a hnědého cukru , náznaky vanilky vzadu na jazyku . Všudypřítomná chuť pomerančové kůry. Příjemně se projevuje zakulacenou chutí, alkohol decentně obalený sladkou chutí pečeného hnédého cukru a hořké čokolády.
Review by hubo
On the nose vanilla, roasted aromas, nut and wood notes. On the palate the nut notes come out more clearly, along with roasted almonds and chocolate. Very full-bodied and round, very sweet. The full, creamy-smooth mouthfeel lasts long.
Review by Anonymous
Very pleasant blend, in the smell lemon orange vanilla. Needs time to breathe. On the tongue oily fruity woody and long. Nice lasting finish in a fantastic bottle that presents itself superbly.
Review by MJ72
Vanilla and orange in the foreground. Typical Riise sweetness with an oily finish.
Review by gary0067
The sugar is less present, probably due to the citrus taste.
Review by Scotty1960
Too sweet and in my opinion too expensive for the price-performance ratio
Review by fortepian
too sweet definitely…
Review by Kasper
Now we see something a bit different. The sugar is still burnt and orange peel, but it's lifted a bit from a citrus taste. The added light acidity lifts the harsh burnt overly sugary taste. Still, it's not good.
Review by Sven Erbe
Comes across again as alcoholic and perfumed and not too sweet. Actually pleasant but doesn’t trigger a wow effect. It lacks a certain expressiveness. It just meanders along taste-wise and doesn’t linger long on the finish...
