A liqueur-style Virgin Islands sipper from A.H. Riise at 45.5%, soft and dessert-like with pronounced caramel, chocolate, vanilla and dark fruit, frankly sweet and built for after-dinner pouring rather than dry contemplation.
Description
The XO Founders Reserve 6th Edition continues A.H. Riise's rich, dessert-leaning house style, a Virgin Islands rum kept soft and rounded at 45.5%. As with the brand's other bottlings, the aim is sweetness and smoothness rather than dryness or structure, and this reads accordingly.
It leads with pronounced caramel, chocolate and vanilla over dark, plummy fruit, with a note of roasted almond adding a little depth. The texture stays soft and the overall impression is plainly liqueur-like, a sweet, after-dinner character that fans of the style will recognise and enjoy. In honesty this is a sweetened sipper rather than a dry aged rum, and it makes most sense poured neat as a dessert in a glass. Anyone who likes A.H. Riise's earlier sweet, flavoured bottlings will find this a comfortable continuation of the line.
