A.H. Riise XO 175 Anniversary Rum
What surprises people is the heat: for something this sweet, a few tasters get a real sting on the tongue before caramel smooths it over. Otherwise it's the classic A.H. Riise playbook — vanilla, toffee, butterscotch and a candied fruit note some love and others read as marshmallow or bubble-gum. Sweet enough that several call it dessert more than rum.
The community says- Rich vanilla-caramel
- Creamy dessert profile
- But: Added sugar

Dieser A.H. Riise schmeckt mir ausgesprochen gut. Er duftet nach geröstetem Holz und Vanille, schmeckt nach Früchten und Karamell. leicht scharf im Abgang. Wie bei vielen dieser Marke wurde auch hier ordentlich nachgesüsst. Ich finde ihn aber sehr lecker und habe gleich eine Flasche geordert.

Smells and tastes like a combination of caramel milk chocolate cookies from subway and pineapple and artificial red cocktail cherries from a can or jar 🤣 extremely artificial and sweet Once again...
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
14.12.2025 Day 14 of my Christmas Calendar. Still find it too sweet for me. -------- This is definitely a rum for the fan base of A. H. Riise. Sweet like the usual rums from this company. The nose is sweet and fruity with a tad of smoke and mint. The palate is very sweet and the fruitiness continues from the nose. Creamy charred mint and vanilla. The finish is short to medium long and sweet with orange and oak. A tad too sweet for me but it will probebly have a huge fan base out there.

Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
I have devalued a little here. Sweet rum no longer tastes as good to me as it did when I first tasted it
Review by Business Liner Ralf
Ich denke, nach der EU Gesetzesreform dürfte er heute nur noch als Rumbasis verkauft werden. Ist schon ordentlich Zucker drin.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,5:On the nose, there's a certain heaviness of very ripe fruit at first. But the profile soon becomes rather light, though gently spicy. Exotic wood and vanilla show signs of opening up and amplitude, then the rum reveals all its love of confectionery, with fruity bubble-gum and marshmallow.With aeration, the woodiness now seems sweet, but still exotic because it's also spicy. The rum is tart and powdery, like candy. 7,2:On the palate, the rum is thick and syrupy, with a slightly creamy vanilla/strawberry sweetness. The spices, which have been discreet until now, suddenly heat up the palate to the point of stinging the tongue. Caramel then takes the edge off. 7:On the finish, there's a sweet little lemon candy and a slight burnt touch, like a memory of that spicy phase on the palate...
Review by Justin Baker
The A.H. Riise 175yr was so far one of the best rums I have drunk. Light spiciness with versatile fruit, white tea and light anise on the finish. The rum was a bit oily which I really liked. Definite buy recommendation!
Review by Stan Hardy
Süß, vollmundig, etwas künstlich, und leicht überladen. Im Cocktail bestimmt nicht verkehrt, aber leider viel zu teuer
Review by Daniel
Unglaublich, wie süß und vielschichtig zugleich es Riise auch hier wieder hinbekommt, um Süßrumfans in ihren Bann zu ziehen. Die Rauchsüße im Abgang gefällt mir an dieser Version sehr gut.
Review by Rumbaer
Bernsteinfarben. Geruch nach Orange, Zitrusfrüchten und sehr künstlich. Geschmack sehr süß. Viel zu süß... Orange, künstliche Aromen und Zuckerwatte. Bleibt klebrig und künstlich im Mund. Leider so gar nicht meins.
Review by Dirk E.
...ganz nach meinem Geschmack. Ein guter A.H. Riise.
Review by nick_nick1
Geruch angenehm fruchtig sehr vielfältig. Überraschend scharf. Fruchtig reife Banane. Nicht zu erwarten bei AH. Süße und Schärfe nicht ganz stimmig
Review by Chris Tian
Sehr süß, typisch Riise, ich finde ihn sehr leck
Review by Al Bunda
O neco lepsi nez ostatni AHR. V nose citim susenky , vic alkoholu, citrusy a obecne tropicke ovoce, exotické dřevo, citrusy, vanilka , máslo a jemna oriskova chuť je pak cítit po smočení jazyka , následně prvotní síla alkoholu mizí a zůstává sladká chuť , creme brulee, citrusy ...Závěr je sladký, kořeněná chuť převládá, celkové doznění je příjemné 🙂
Review by Kay Meertens
Extremely sweet. I don't know whether marshmallow liquor exists, but if it does this must be what it tastes like.
Review by rum_sk
I don't know just another Riise I guess. Same as the others with very limited deviations.
Review by Sven Erbe
Anfangs süß und nach weihnachtlicher Bäckerei, mit viel Karamel und Butter etwas Rosinen. So dann auch im Mund und im Abgang. Frucht schwindet Karamell überwiegt mit süße immer mehr. Die Süße Buttrigkeit bleibt lange am Gaumen haften

Süße Bombe! Schmeckt interessant hat aber mit klassischem Rum nicht viel zu tun. Ist eher ein Dessert
