Expect a dessert in a glass, not a rum. The nose is caramel, chocolate and burnt sugar with a hint of popcorn and almond; the palate hits with big sweetness and tropical fruit that lingers long. Several tasters call it more liqueur than rum — soft, syrupy, and easy. Sweet-tooths enjoy it; anyone chasing rum character will feel it buried under sugar.
The community says- Rich caramel-chocolate nose
- Soft and easy
- Keep in mind: Very sweet

How does A.H. Riise Old. St. Croix Explorer XO (German exclusive) 2024 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Very sweet, more dessert than rum Loved by sweet-rum fans and dismissed by others as liquid dessert. Caramel, tropical fruit and burnt sugar dominate so heavily the rum itself nearly disappears. Reads more liqueur than rum.

If you are into the sweeter rums, this version can certainly be a hit
Review by Eugene227
Basically liquid dessert. Caramel, tropical fruits, and burnt sugar dominate so strongly that the actual rum character is barely noticeable. Soft, easy drinking, and quite tasty for sweet lovers. More liqueur than rum.
Review by Timo Groeger
I really wonder how I could have liked something like this before. It's really nothing more than a liquid dessert, just sweet. Popcorn, caramel, and burnt sugar on the nose; popcorn, caramel, and chocolate on the palate.
Review by heckto🥃
A very sweet beginner rum. It smells of caramel and chocolate. On the palate, tropical fruits come through. It tastes more like a liqueur than rum, which I like. Also great for dessert.
Review by Sven Erbe
The first nose reminded me of my youth: gingerbread house tea with popcorn etc... Many roasted aromas, almond and popcorn etc., the candy stall at the fair where something is slightly burnt. Then comes the full force of sugar on the palate that lingers for a long time. Similar to the burnt sugar on crème brûlée.
Review by Anonymous
It smells of herbs and then tastes surprisingly sweet! Almost a bit too sweet! But that's a matter of taste!
Review by Thomas Heckmann
More like a liqueur. Reminds me of Baileys at first sip. Very sweet. Caramel, chocolate and nut aromas come through well. The alcohol is poorly integrated. Perfect with tiramisu! Actually drinkable, for dessert.
Review by Rumbaer
Once again a sweet Riise. Not quite as sweet as the Naval Cadet but still lots of sugar. Copper-colored with a smell of alcohol, sweetness and fruits. However also artificial. On the taste the full blast of sweetness with some tropical fruits and artificial flavors.
