An XO from A.H. Riise released for the French market at 40%, soft and sweet with chocolate, dark chocolate and vanilla, a smooth, dessert leaning Virgin Islands bottling in the brand’s familiar sweetened, easy drinking house style.
Description
A.H. Riise is a Danish founded brand with St. Croix roots in the Virgin Islands, and this Old St. Croix Explorer XO is a 2024 release for the French market bottled at 40%. The house is known for soft, sweet, dessert friendly rums, and this release follows that familiar style, a smooth and accessible pour rather than a dry or full proof one.
The profile is simple and confectionary, led by chocolate and vanilla on the nose and a palate of chocolate, dark chocolate and vanilla. This is a soft, sweet leaning rum in the brand's recognisable mould, and it is fairest to set it out as a dessert like sipper rather than a lean aged spirit. At 40% it drinks gently and easily, a chocolate forward pour that will suit drinkers who enjoy the sweeter, smoother end of the category, while those after a drier style will find it leans the other way.
