A.H. Riise XO Founders Reserve 4th Edition
One member calls it a "richtig süße Bombe" — a really sweet one — and that's the honest read here. Expect candied orange peel, vanilla, plum and sugared hazelnut, with a thick, oily coating and a very sweet finish. Several tasters note it's hard to tell apart from other A.H. Riise bottles, and one flat-out treats it as a liqueur rather than a rum.
The community says- Candied orange peel
- Smooth, not hot
- But: Added sugar

How does A.H. Riise XO Founders Reserve 4th Edition taste?
Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Very sweet, dessert-style orange-vanilla sipper Loved by sweet-tooth drinkers for its candied orange and vanilla, but many find it near-indistinguishable from other Riise releases, and one taster reads it as a liqueur, not a rum.

Review by heckto🥃
Am Anfang etwas sprittig in der Nase und am Gaumen, was aber schnell der Riise-typischen Süsse weicht. Angenehme Vanille und Pflaumennoten runden diesen Rum ab. Ich würde diesen Rum schon weiterempfehlen, obwohl es bessere aus dem Hause Riise gibt.
Review by Scotty1960
Sehr süß mit Vanille, Pflaume dominiert
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.
