Non Plus Ultra V. R.

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.

According to legend,Non Plus Ultra were the words that adorned the Pillars of Hercules near the Strait of Gibraltar. Latin for ‘not beyond’, in antiquity this promontory was said to mark the boundary between the known and the unknown world. Non Plus Ultra Very Rare Rum is the master blender’s masterpiece. Only the very best drops from the highest class of the oldest, most exceptional casks have been used to create the ultimate rum from A.H. Riise.
