Review by Kay Meertens
Almond, peach, passion fruit and a little coconut on the nose. A typical taste of candied orange peel. Sweet of course, but not as over-the-top as the regular Ambre d'Or.
Review by ordogh
Complex rum with tons of dried fruits and spices. Well balanced, deep, but friendly.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Cheap peach crumb iced tea to drink, alcoholic artificial and cheap and not worth nearly 90€... Almost worse than the normal non plus ultra. But the only non plus ultra here is the poor price-performance ratio and the alcohol integration, which is not non plus ultra!🤦🏼♂️

Wow ein toller Eum
Review by MarcT
Be careful if something needs to be called non plus ultra. This is an artificial tasting liqueur, similar to Don Papa, and obviously targeting the same group. My brother likes it, though.
Review by August Lauridsen
Lovely rum with lots of fruit, gave me a strong peachy flavour in the middle.
Review by Serge
Disgustingness you have a name. Came along as a free sample of rum and co and I can not imagine a more inappropriate addition product to a rum. I remain in the rating above 1 because at least there was no intoxication or nausea, but not much is missing. Inedible in the sense of "not approved as food" it is not, but a taste normal polled person can not enjoy it either. Most artificial peach flavors (so no peach but the industrial, disgusting taste) with a lot of sugar (also almost impossible to get down) and cheapest multi column alcohol. Unbelievably bad ... now first brush your teeth, throw the sample in the trash and bring down the garbage.
Review by handyrambo
Ich mag süße und fruchtige Rum, wo man in der Regel sich fragen muss, ob es noch echter Rum ist oder schon Likör, oder was in der Mitte, wie zb Spiced Rum. Riise und Don Papa sind meine Lieblingssorten, das sagt vermutlich schon einiges. Bisher haben mir alle Riise gut geschmeckt, die Frage ist in der Regel ob die teureren Flaschen den höheren Preis wert sind. In diesem Fall würde ich sagen ja. Der Rum schmeckt nach Pfirsich, mild und vanillig, genau mein Geschmack, dabei aber nicht künstlich. Dazu gefallen mir die Flasche und Farbe, das Auge trinkt ja schließlich mit ;-)
Review by zabo
Zusammen mit Serge "verkostet". Der Geruch allein war schon mehr als zu süß und zu künstlich. Habe mich dann nicht mal getraut diesen als Süßer für den Espresso zu nehmen. Wie man sowas als Sample bei einer Bestellung von einem Raconteur mitschicken kann ist schon sehr fraglich von Rum&Co.

Très rond, arrière goût de caramel, que du bonheur !
Review by Korkennase🥃
Ein Rum mit ordentlich Zucker. Die Nase ist komplex, wird aber von der Suesse dominiert. Der Geschmack ist fruchtig mit viel Suesse. Der Abgang ist kurz und suess. Das die Rums von A H Riise suess sind, kann ich bestätigen. Wer wirklich auf sehr süße Rums steht, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Mir ist dieser Rum viel zu süß... sorry. Dieser Rum braucht Zeit im Glas.

Pfirsich, Pfirsich, Pfirsich, lecker
Review by Tafia Guildive
Nase: Pfirsich, Lakritze, Anis, Erdbeer-Most, Banane, Desinfektionsmittel, im Hintergrund Tabak und Haselnuss. Gaumen: Initial süß und klebrig, keinesfalls „ölig“ wie wohl manche meinen. Dann sofort chemisch-künstlich, etwas Haselnuss und trotz der extremen Süße und Klebrigkeit auch alkoholisch. Sehr schlecht integrierter Alkohol, das muss man bei dem (angeblichen) Alter und der extremen Süße erst einmal hinbekommen, traurig. Im Abgang gesellt sich zur Chemie- und Alkoholnote auch noch Bitterkeit, die die Süße tatsächlich auch noch durchdringt. Schlimm, kommt mir nicht wieder ins Glas. Dieses Produkt ist genau so, wie Rum nicht sein sollte. Hat mit Rum nichts zu tun und ist wirklich ungenießbar.

Extrémne dobre pitie
Review by Kasper
Awful. Not rum. Retaste: okay, 2/10 is very harsh but I'm going to stick with it because it's far far far away from my taste. As I learned it had agreed on sauterne casks, I was interested in treating it again, but there's no our too little hint of sauterne, so I don't understand why, other than it's in interesting experiment that alas failed. So not worth the price. Great that I tasted it twice so I know what to avoid in the future.
