A.H. Riise Pharmacy Liquorice
People are split, and the split is basically "do you love licorice?" This is a thick, syrupy black licorice liqueur at 18% — dominant licorice, salt, molasses, with hints of coffee and chocolate. Licorice devotees call it delicious and creamy; everyone else finds it too sweet and syrupy, with almost no alcohol bite. One member even bakes with it.
The community says- Intense licorice
- But: Syrupy sweet
- But: Barely rum

The look inside the bottle
How does A.H. Riise Pharmacy Liquorice taste?
Aggregated from 31 community reviews.
Thick, sweet black-licorice liqueur Loved by hardcore licorice fans, disliked by most others. Very sweet, thick and syrupy with a long finish, but light on alcohol and one-note. It's a liqueur, not a rum.

Review by Jürgen Gigl
Eigentlich kein Rum, sondern, soweit ich weiß, auf Vodka Basis, aber von Riise und ich mag Lakritze ! Das war eigentlich die Entscheidung für diesen Kauf. Ist aber so gar nicht mein Geschmack und wird daher in der Vitrine verstauben…
Review by heckto🥃
Lakritz meets Schokolikör und dazu ein bisschen Kaffeearoma und Zucker. ist auf jeden Fall mal was anderes aber nicht so meins.
Review by Johannes
Syrupy, dark liquid. Licorice is very dominant, salt, molasses. Tastes pretty awful.
