About Distillery
After studying as a chemist Albert Heinrich Riise left Denmark to set up his own pharmacy in the West Indies in the 19th century, Albert began experimenting with some of the new products he discovered in the Caribbean. The strong alcohol spirit made from molasses, aka Rum, was of particular interest to Albert as he was convinced a healing product could be made from this strong liquid. At first, Albert sold Riise’s Bay Rum, a scented product that people would buy as a perfume. It wasn’t long however before Albert realized that his Rum inventions could be put to much better use as a drink.
Today, A.H. Riise distribute some of the world’s finest and most awarded Rums globally.
A distinct port taste is precisely what you get with this A.H. Riise XO reserve Port Cask. This blend is originally based upon carefully selected West Indian and Central American rums whose final destination is port casks. It is within these port casks we create the immaculate and distinct taste of this XO Reserve Port Cask.
