"Sweet rum with a capital" S, as one member put it — and that's the whole story here. Thick and syrupy, with candied orange peel, marzipan, vanilla and a spicy cinnamon-tobacco tail. Fans of sweet Riise bottles call it a dessert in a glass; others find it sticky and cloying, more sweetened liqueur than traditional rum. It sits firmly in dessert-rum territory.
The community says- Candied orange peel
- Marzipan and vanilla
- Keep in mind: Added sugar

How does A.H. Riise Family Reserve Solera 1838 Rum taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Very sweet, dessert-style Riise sipper Loved by sweet-rum fans for its marzipan, candied orange and creamy spice; plenty of others find it far too sugary and closer to a liqueur than a rum.

Most helpful positive review
On the nose a pleasant caramel/vanilla scent. On the palate citrus fruits and a hint of tobacco. A soft yet spicy rum from A.H. Riise. Well balanced and as always very sweet. I like it.

A well-intentioned gift. A spirit based on rum. Way too artificial and sugary. For me personally, not rum, at least not honest rum. Admittedly easy to drink, but does it have to be like that? Suitable for lovers of sweet liqueurs though.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
15.12.2025 Day 15 of my Christmas Calendar. Still a very sweet and sticky rum in my mind. Very light fruity nose and the palate is lightly spicy and very sweet with spices. --------- Not as fruity as the XO reserve, but still way too sweet for me. A bit creamy but the sweetness kills what could have been good.
Review by Business Liner Ralf
Tastes like it smells, great old drop, already has something of a liqueur. Very sweet, you have to like it.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,5:On the nose, cinnamon from the beginning... There's also some clove and some vanilla. There's a hint of licorice from the molasses, but it's the cinnamon overpowering. Aeration brings to mind some soda notes, as Cola first, then a spicy cola like a Dr.Pepper. Then the ginger comes in and we think more of a ginger ale. There's always an impression of spicy confectionery, like these pepper and cinnamon chewing gums. 7,5:On the palate, this is thick and sweet rum with the orange zest as the first impression. In the middle of the palate, there's a lot of molasses. Of course, the omnipresent cinnamon on the nose makes a come back, with some fruity notes. 7:The finish is medium, sweet with cinnamon, there is a feeling of a sugar powder left...
Review by nick_nick1
Smell somewhat alcoholic but pleasant. Full-bodied taste with a slight tobacco note. Intense.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste is powerful and very full with notes of orange, powdered sugar and tobacco, finishing with a spicy creamy long sweet aftertaste.
Review by Daniel
Super sweet and very mild dessert rum whose maturity can be recognized in the balance and the refined notes in taste and finish with sweet smoky note.
Review by Martin Švojgr
There is so much sugar that I don't understand how I could have drunk it before.
Review by Berry1998
Good rum that I would buy again. Soft in taste without the "alcohol burn" with lots of citrus/orange on the nose and palate with a little saltiness of the sea
Review by Sven Erbe
Interesting but not quite graspable or I just don't understand it. Confusing hints of glue, sandalwood notes like a perfume. This runs consistently from the smell over the palate to the finish. There are surely lovers, but I definitely don't belong to them. But interesting... and still 7 points for a balanced idea.
Review by MJ72
A bit spicier for AH Riise
Review by rum_sk
On my top 5 from Riise definitely worth it, great price. If you like sweet, go for it.
Review by Dirk E.
...an A.H. Risse, sweet fruity delicious. I can recommend it to those who love sweet rums like me.
Review by pavlix vipax
Sugar and thickness quite a lot, citrusy, quite pleasant, shorter in the finish, quite a bit of sugar.
Review by DiederikMartens
Too much fake sweets
Review by Kay Meertens
Raisin, sugared almond, banana and glue in the nose. The typical candied orange peel that is in almost all Riises in the taste. A bit of pineapple in the end. One of the best Riises I've had, but much too sweet unfortunately.
Review by Kamil Čmiel
Sweet... but good. For me, it's a matter of the heart. Something I'll always remember because it holds many memories for me.
Review by Al Wood
Sweet and tasty if you're in the right mood, but super artificial and forced. Compared to pralines, these are cheap nut pralines from Sarotti. I'll never buy it again, but I'll slowly finish it.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
S 7.0 out of 10, it's a good rum, although not exceptional.

Review by Anonymous
Sweet, sharp on the finish
Review by Wollfrosch inConcert
Initially a typical Riise, because the sweetness hits you as expected. But I find the unexpected absence of fruity flavor notes for Riise quite surprising. The spicy, slightly peppery taste of oak barrel is then round and I like it very much. Those who do not reject sweet, soft rums will find their taste here.
Review by Patrick 79
I was curious to try it but didn't really enjoy tasting it. I didn't like the smell or the taste much. On the finish, only a sweet sensation remains that can become cloying. This rum is not made for me.

Read full review ›Sweet rum with a capital "S". Marzipan in the nose, a body of orange-apricot jam, and a spicy tail. And in addition, a classy origin. If this idea appeals to you, you have nothing to hesitate and the price is the last thing you will be interested in. Only then, don't forget to regularly burn those calories.
