The A.H. Riise Pharmacy line is a tribute to the proud history of the Albert Heinrich Riise Pharmacy, founded in 1838. At that time, "bitters" were an integral part of medicine and were developed by the old pharmacist himself to relieve stomach aches and headaches and as a remedy for poor digestion.‍

A tasty bitter that combines extracts from plants, spices and herbs such as galangal root, ginger, bitter orange, curacao peel and cardamom.‍

‍

The mahogany-coloured Royal Danish Navy is blended by hand from various rum distillates in the old seafaring tradition.  The molasses base is slowly fermented and distilled using the pot still method to produce a rum with an alcohol content of 85%, before being diluted to a pleasant 40%.

Nose: Varied aromas of liquorice, orange peel, coconut, papaya, eucalyptus and a hint of mint; hints of sweet and bitter balsamic reduction, black tea and Christmas spices.
Palate: Full flavour that balances the oiliness with green notes of eucalyptus and mint, yellow citrus notes and the bitterness of liquorice and balsamic vinegar.
Finish: Long with notes of mocha and dark chocolate with orange.

‍

Centuries of experience in maturing and blending are reflected in this unique spiced rum which, unlike A.H. Riise's other spirits which tend to be amber and glossy, has a darker syrupy colour. This is the result of maturing in barrels that are heavily charred on the inside. The charred wood not only gives the spirit a darker colour, but also changes the flavour, giving the maturing spirit more complex smoky and spicy notes with a lower tannin content.

Nose: mocha, walnuts, burnt figs and lightly toasted oak.
Palate: Christmas spices and dark chocolate combine to create a deep, rich flavour.
Finish: The mocha flavour returns and slowly fades.

‍

Today, A.H. Riise is best known for its elegant, aromatic and sweet molasses-based rums. A.H. Riise Liquorice Shot is no exception when it comes to flavour, aroma and, last but not least, excellent craftsmanship. Riise Liquorice Shot is made with the highest quality premium vodka. The first impression can only be described as a hint of rusty nails, followed by plenty of English liquorice, fading into an aftertaste with a slight hint of ammonia. On the nose, these three flavours combine with the refined vodka to create an almost alchemical aroma.

‍

XO Reserve Superior is an exquisite, strictly limited edition rum, made from only the finest casks in the A.H. Riise XO range, and as the name suggests, it is truly superior.

Finish: Long, creamy finish with notes of leather and bergamot.‍

‍

Non Plus Ultra La Galante takes its name from Christopher Columbus' ship, Santa Maria La Galante, on which he discovered the Antilles and the green island of St Croix, and the bottle also pays homage to A.H. Riise's first brand, Old St Croix, which appeared on his bottles 150 years ago along with A.H. Riise's signature. ‍

‍

Palate: Creamy and velvety with notes of preserved plums, vanilla and a sherry sweetness.
Finish: The rich taste finishes long and sweet with notes of vanilla and plums.‍
