I enjoy the sweetness combined with spices. For me this is one of the most favorite rums.
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
Tasted this one before the EU directive was changed (pre 2020), when it was til "rum". It has a candy-like sweetness, with vanilla and toffee in the nose, and also in the notes; toffee, vanilla and white tea. Not really my style
Review by MJ72
In der Nase Süße und Vanille. Frucht mit etwas Mandel. Im Mund sehr mild, sehr süß, Vanille und helles Karamell, Trockenobst als Frucht. Weich und ölig, Mittel im Abgang.
Review by LukaŽiga
6,2:The first nose reveals a hint of heavy rum (overripe banana), but this remains fairly stealthy, as vanilla and orange quickly assert themselves, enhanced by a large pinch of cinnamon. The cinnamon's powdery aspect really comes to the fore, all the more so as pepper and nutmeg come to the fore. The sugar is very present, giving us a kind of spicy candy.We return to the orange zest when we shake the rum. This gives a slightly drier impression that tries to bring a little balance before the cinnamon melted into the vanilla makes a comeback. The spicy ambience continues with ginger and cardamom, reminiscent of the little gingerbread men we eat during the holidays. 6:The vanilla-orange-cinnamon trio that leads the way on the palate is definitely reminiscent of Christmas. It's a tropical Christmas, and a particularly West Indian one at that, since these aromas are reminiscent of the famous schrubb prepared in the islands for this occasion. 5,5:The finish with thick sugar of an orange liqueur takes over, depositing this citrus flavor on the palate for a long time to come.
Review by Penny Vice
Kein Rum als solches, allerdings trotz allem recht lecker. Von mir gibt's eine Empfehlung für alle, die Nougat/Marzipan mögen. Wer einen waschechten Rum ist, der sollte hiervon allerdings Abstand nehmen, da er einfach deutlich gewürzt ist.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Gestern Abend bei Freunden wieder etwas auf Rumbasis im Glas gehabt. Riise und ich werden einfach keine Freunde. Nette Worte sind für diesen Klebstoff nicht zu finden. Er ist ein bisschen fruchtig. Süß ist er auch noch, vielleicht ein bisschen zu süß. Aber auch nur vielleicht...... Wer es mag soll es trinken, ich bin da raus.
Review by Sven Erbe
Sehr fein und gelungen mut passender Schärfe. Buttersotch mut etwas Frucht und Vanille Noten die fein am Gaumen spielen. Mit langem süßen Abgang und leckerem Buterscotch die an Werthers echte erinnert.
Review by Jan Havelka
This just doesn't hit my taste. The colour seems a bit artificial. The drink itself is too sweet, fruity and very alcoholic in taste. It is missing all the good rum flavours. Even the bottle says it is a superior spirit drink.
Review by Radek Illík
Sladší, svěžejší, lehce ovocný, hezky navoněný. Moc dobrý :)
Review by Polytheiser
Smelling and tasting highly unauthentic; very strong association to cinnamon aroma.

Review by Tim
Das war der 4. verkostete Rum von Riise an diesem Abend und mit diesem begann meine Übelkeit, wie wenn man zu viele Süßigkeiten gegessen hat. Aber nicht nur deswegen, denn dieser Rum ist eher unangenehm zu trinken und wirkt sehr künstlich. Keine Empfehlung, in keinster Weise.
Review by Oli Dekrell
Mein erster Schluck Riise. Sehr lecker, ebenfalls eine gute Alternative zum Plantation XO.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Burnt caramel and directly again this coarse sweetness in the nose. Mr. Riise, we are not going to be friends. Taste-wise, you're right back to liqueur. I mean, seriously? Besides the thick sweetness, you're actually quite thin and tangy on the way. Falernum or Spiced, but clearly far from rum.
Review by Blaž Ulaga
Nice, easy sipping rum with sweet and toffee base ☝️ Nose: Light and clear toffee/leather hints 👍 Body: Ok combination of sweet chocolate and toffee hints and leather on the other hand ... Finish: Leather body continues but not for too long ... Also some sweetness... A bit too sweet and fruity at the end 🤷♂️
