An ultra sweet A.H. Riise XO Founders Reserve at 45.1%, a liqueur like dessert pour of vanilla, plum, candied orange and nuts with a thick, oily texture and a very sweet finish, closer to a sipping sweet than a dry rum.
Description
A.H. Riise XO Founders Reserve 4th Edition is a Virgin Islands bottling from A.H. Riise, a brand whose XO range is known above all for sweetness. Presented at 45.1%, it sits firmly in the dessert rum camp, and there is no point pretending otherwise, this is a rich, sugary style built for those who enjoy a sweet after dinner pour.
The nose is nutty and sweet with dried fruit and nougat, the palate thick and oily with vanilla, plum, candied orange and roasted nuts, and the finish creamy, orange tinged and very sweet. The added sugar gives it a syrupy, liqueur like body that smooths away any rough edges and carries the flavour long after the sip. Drinkers who love the A.H. Riise house style or reach for sweet, vanilla driven sippers will find exactly what they expect here. Those after a dry, structured rum should look to a different shelf entirely.
