A.H. Riise XO Reserve Thin Blue Line Denmark Rum

Opinion here really splits on the sweetness. Most tasters land on caramel, mango, orange and a warm spice edge, with a soft creamy finish — a typical A.H. Riise in other words. Fans call the fruit lovely; others say it's so sweet it reads "almost drinking a syrup," better in coffee or rum balls than sipped neat at 40%.

The community says
  • Mango and caramel
  • Warm spice finish
  • But: Very sweet

Very sweet, spiced mango-caramel Riise A sweet, spiced, mango-and-caramel Riise. Fruit-lovers enjoy it; plenty find it too sugary and thin at 40%, one calling it syrup-like. Divisive rather than agreed-on.

And again typical A.H. Riise here. But not so sweet, and instead pronounced fruity aromas of mangoes, papayas, oranges and vanilla. The aftertaste is long-lasting and creamy.

Unfortunately found another free sample. After briefly wetting my lips, I again decided, as with all Riise, that it works better in espresso than to enjoy it neat. I have to agree with Kevin, but I didn't want to use it for rum balls either, such a shame about the chocolate. ;-)

06.12.2025 Day 6 of my Christmas Calendar and is till find it really sweet. ---------- Too sweet and a bit out of balance in my mind. Used the rest of the bottle in "rum balls". Frutiy and sweet with light butts ans some spices. There is a faint mint note in the profile.

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.
