A.H. Riise Frogman Rum Conventus Ranae

Sweet-rum drinkers who want a bit more backbone will get on best here. It's the familiar A.H. Riise candied-orange-peel profile — caramel, dried fruit, gingerbread — but the 60% ABV keeps the sugar from taking over. Members call it one of the better, less artificial Riise bottlings, though most still land on "still too sweet." Expect heat that needs time to settle.

  • Candied orange peel

Von allen a.h.riise in Sachen Preis Leistung noch der Vermutlich beste. Alkohol halbwegs gut integriert, insgesamt dennoch viel zu süß. Aromatisch nicht zu arg künstlich wie die anderen Abfüllungen von riise...

Still sweet but better than the previous one. Better balance but still needs to rest for a good while for the ABV to balance out

Yes, there is a "bite" from the alcohol, but it brings an internal flavor of stewed cherries, burnt fig and cigar box and a citrus note on top that provides a good balance The aftertaste fades slowly and creamy

Trotz 60% Alkoholgehalt immer noch zu süß. Er ist zwar gut eingebunden aber mir fehlt es etwas an Komplexität. In der Nase fruchtig-süsse Karamellnoten, am Gaumen kommen Ananas- und Orangennoten zum Vorschein.

Typical A.H. Riise with lots of sweetness but this time better balanced due to abv. Thanks to 60% abv the sweetness is less intrusive. On the other hand alcohol could be integrated a little bit better as it needs to sit for a while to allow the 👃 to open up otherwise the alcohol kills the other nuances. Definitely one of the better if not the best from riise. It is still fairly sweet but power helps to balance it

A mellow and sweet rum, could be too sweet if it wouldn’t be for the 60% alcohol. The high alcohol content balances it all up, it brings a touch of warmth and some strenght which completes the rum very well with the sweetness. A bit too sweet aftertaste, but far from bad. A great rum for those who likes sweet rums.

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.
