A.H. Riise Frogman Rum

Dark, syrupy and loaded up front: caramel, raisin, marzipan and a licorice-tinged finish, all wrapped around a noticeable 58% kick. This is the stronger, spicier take on the sweet A.H. Riise style. Fans of Riise sugar and spice enjoy the punch and long chocolate-honey finish, while others find it flat and sugar-heavy once the heat fades.

The community says
  • Long spicy finish
  • Rich dark flavor

Nice and dark colour and that's basically it. Sweet and kind of out of balance even after resting for a good while.

Der Alkohol ist mit leicht pfeffriger Note an der Nase zu merken, es überwiegen aber bei weitem die würzigen und fruchtigen Noten. Am Gaumen Noten von Schoko und Frucht in einer herrlichen Vollmundigkeit. Der Abgang extra lang mit Noten von Schokolade zuletzt zeigt sich auch noch Honig. Angenehme Version eines Navysüßrums (mein Erster), der deutlich mehr an Intensität und Vollmundigkeit aufzuweisen hat. Auch treten hier die fruchtigen Noten etwas in den Hintergrund im Vergleich zu seinen abgemilderten Brüdern. Gefällt.

Die Nase erwartet einmal quer durch das Süßigkeitenregal. Am Gaumen überraschend eine winzige Nuance Fruchtigkeit. die dem schlecht eingebundenen Alkohol so schnell weichen muss, dass man sie fast gar nicht wahrnimmt. Am Ende überlagert der Zucker einfach alles.

Brand

Old St. Croix 

Avg Rating 7.5/10 51 Rums

Old St. Croix is the current name of the Danish rum house that traded as A.H. Riise until June 2025. Both names point back to the same man: Albert Heinrich Riise, a pharmacist who settled in the Danish West Indies in 1838 and exported his rum under the Old St. Croix label. The house style is soft and dessert-leaning, built on sweetened blends rather than dry spirit, and it splits opinion in the community more than almost any other brand on RumX.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`. Put notes here. `headerDeliveryCountry` feeds the aria-label of the destination picker under the express row (commerce/express-destination.js). The strip's visible text is rendered by Hugo itself in rx/price_block.html — nothing else needs seeding. */ -}}
