A. H. Riise 2018 Ambre d'or Reserve

I like the Riise rums. It’s one of my favorite. No too expensive but very good quality. Bit of sweet bit of vanilla and it not strong.

Miniature bottle from an advent calendar. 
42% alcohol. No age statement.

Colour: pale gold
Nose: light, dried apricots and honey, subtle and fresh
Palate: subtle aroma, the apricot notes are maintained,  but overwhelmed by the sugar. 
Sweetness: 4/5 
Burn: gentle not enough to balance the syrupy feel
Throat: Forgettable

Summary: tastes like an apricot liqueur

Very nice rum with peach flavor. If you don't like sweet rum, look for something else!

Aroma merunky v cukru, chuť to kopíruje, ale přijde mi to trochu umělé.

Für mich als Süssrum-Möger ein leckeres Tröpfchen als Digestif.......schneidet im direkten Vergleich für mich erstaunlicherweise noch besser ab als der Non-plus-ultra Ambre dòr.

This one is more of peach vodka rum, nothing I prefer.

Sweet, sharp citrus, vanilla and some kind of flowery taste. It comes in layers, each hitting your tongue differently. Definitely stands out among other, more anise-tasting, Riise rums but is also pretty aggressive - for some too much.

When initially buying the superior cask from riise, I had this one in mind. Thus, the SC produced some disappointment at first.
Back to this one: it does by no means fall short of the tasting notes. Great complexity and flavor profile. For the fruity Riise rums, this is one of the best. And for 35 Euros quite a steal. It does taste quite different from the ambre d'or non plus ulta, which is lower dimensional but much better balanced.

Fruits in every way. Highest level of apricot brandy :)

It’s not rum but it’s made of rum. So if you look at it as a rum I would say it’s too fruity, too much like candy and a fruit liquor.

If you look at it as a rum based spirit it’s a nice drink for a warmer day. It’s light, has nice fruity flavors like apricot, vanilla, honey. Just a nice drink to share with friends who are into sweet wines or liquors and want a rum based drink.
