Riise, this luxurious rum captivates with its enticing aromas and flavors, making it a true delight for connoisseurs.

Ample and consistent, the candied fruits and spices caress the taste buds, enhanced by a touch of coffee powder.
This exceptional blend consists of 15 rums, column distilled from molasses mash and aged in American oak barrels for up to 20 years. It is then aged in Port casks for an additional 6 months, resulting in a beautiful dark auburn color with ruby reflections. The XO Reserve Rum Port Cask Finish offers aromas of lightly spiced vanilla with complex notes of red fruits and port, followed by a long-lasting, delicate finish with a hint of mild cinnamon.
