The A.H. Riise Royal Danish Navy Frogman Conventus Ranae is a premium expression from the esteemed A.H. Riise distillery, originating from the United States of America. This limited edition rum is a tribute to the Danish military, notably the Conventus Ranae, an association of former "Frogman" combatants who defended against sea attacks. Crafted from a blend of rums aged up to 30 years, this rum is bottled at a potent 58% ABV, offering a robust and intense experience.
The rum exhibits a dark, intense robe with pronounced toasted aromas and a distinctive hint of gunpowder, attributable to its high proof. The nose is greeted with the complex scent of a well-charred and caramelized cask, layered with grilled notes of coffee, nuts, and spices, all harmoniously balanced by the scent of toasted wood. Over time, the aroma develops into a rich and aromatic profile enriched with Christmas spice notes.
On the palate, the A.H. Riise Royal Danish Navy Frogman Conventus Ranae presents a sweet and rich flavor, featuring dark tones complemented by a smooth and velvety texture. The molasses are accentuated by licorice, prunes, and apricot jam, followed by a burst of spices led by cinnamon and a perfumed touch of cardamom. This dynamic flavor profile opens the door to acidic fruits like strawberry and banana candies.
As the rum evolves, it fully unveils the signature A.H. Riise profile, evoking nostalgic Christmas evenings filled with gingerbread men and grogs. The ripe banana and mango aromas suggest a tropical winter, while the apricot jam richness coats the palate like a classic baba. This higher proof version, with a lower reduction of 58%, contrasts with the standard 40% and the 55% Navy Strength version, delivering intense and dark notes that give way to a rewarding sweetness, making it a concentrated and indulgent expression of the A.H. Riise range.
