A very sweet sipper from A.H. Riise, the XO Founders Reserve bottled at 44.5%, layering caramel, honey, raisins and tropical fruit, soft and dessert-like and best served chilled or over ice rather than neat at room temperature.
Description
A.H. Riise XO Founders Reserve is a molasses rum bottled at 44.5%, presented in the brand's familiar sweet, sippable house style. Like much of the A.H. Riise range, it leans openly toward the rich and sugary end of the spectrum, so it reads as a sweet after-dinner rum rather than a dry, oak-led dram.
The nose carries raisin, banana, cherry and a nutty edge, while the palate is banana, prunes and plenty of sweetness. The finish stays sweet and fruity, with tobacco and chocolate underneath. The overall impression is soft and dessert-like, with caramel, honey and tropical fruit to the fore and the gentle strength keeping everything approachable. Many find it most enjoyable chilled or over ice, where the cold tempers the sweetness. It suits drinkers who already enjoy A.H. Riise and liqueur-leaning rums and want a warm, spiced, sweet pour.
