A.H. Riise Navy Rum Naval Cadet

Sip it neat or over ice as a dessert-style pour and you get exactly what the name doesn't promise: caramel, toffee and burnt sugar with a soft, sugary body. One taster hoped for the spice of a traditional navy rum and found it "more sweet than expected." Several regulars note the whole A.H. Riise range tastes much alike — chocolatey and sweet.

The community says
  • Caramel and toffee
  • Easy sweet sipping
  • But: Added sugar

Well, what can you say about this. It's just an A.H. Riise, which in my opinion all taste the same except for a few exceptions. This one too, bright caramel and chocolatey, but I find A.H. Riise quite okay.

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.
