A.H. Riise Platinum Reserve Small Batch No. 1
Coconut leads, and it doesn't let go — think vanilla, banana and a real minty streak riding a soft, oily body. Sweet enough that several members shrug and call it a liqueur more than a rum, and the 42% keeps it gentle. Most who taste it come away happy; the sticking point is the price. A calm after-dinner pour, not a dry sipper.
The community says- Rich coconut note
- Soft oily body
- But: Very sweet

How does A.H. Riise Platinum Reserve Small Batch No. 1 taste?
Aggregated from 40 community reviews.
Sweet, coconut-heavy sipper close to a liqueur Well-liked as a sweet, coconut-forward sipper most call one of Riise's best — just know the sweetness leans liqueur, so dry-rum drinkers should sample first.

If this one wouldn't be so f#£_@ng expensive I would say it is the best of riise and I would buy it every time the well goes dry. What a shame. Absolutely ridiculous price tag. Coconut is most prominent all over. Great sweet ,,rum,,.

07.12.2023 retasting and it lost some points. Very sweet release. ----------------- This rum is a blend of solera rums where one set is aged up to 40 years and the other for up to 21 years. All aging has been done in Europe so a very controlled aging process. This is another of those rums where people can agree to disagree. A sweet rum that is pretty well balanced. The price tag is a bit high compared to what you get.
Review by Massimo Vezzoli
Ottimo rum da meditazione di un certo livello. Color ambrato al naso mi ha impressionato un odore di menta che al gusto si aspira ma non dà fastidio al resto dei sapori di vaniglia e caramello
Review by MJ72
Fruchtige Kopfnote, Citrus und sehr dezent etwas Kokos. Sehr mild, ölig und samt. Kokos verstärkt sich, Citrus und Vanille als Grundnote. Länger im Abgang, Kokos und Vanille bleiben.

When sweet Rum only platinum
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
Likely my favorite from this company, and the one that made me want to try to further my taste-buds into the rum world. Managed to get one of 6000 bottles, before the prices got crazy. It has a distinct sweetness in the nose, and citrus, winegum and hints of leather in the notes. Today, this would not classify as rum. Edit: the score is still the same in 2024, even though I'm more into higher ABV% spirits

Zu teuer nicht mein Fall
Review by SaibotZtar
Preis Leistung mehr als ungenügend!! Eine Süße Plörre für viel Geld !! Eigentlich eine Frechheit!!
Review by Daniel
Erinnert an den Bitter. Süßliche und kräuterige Noten dominieren. Pfeffriger Auftakt verschwindet schnell zu Gunsten von Kräutern und Fruchtnoten. Sehr mild und harmonisch. Abgang erstaunlich unspektakulär. In Summe nicht mein Fall und deutlich weg von seinen Brüdern. Daher die dringende Empfehlung sich ein Sample zu besorgen, bevor man sich das Flagschiff des Hauses zulegt und dann enttäuscht ist.

Riecht nach Minze. Schmeckt stark nach Bananen.Kurzer fruchtiger süßer Abgang
