Tasting Notes - The alchemy of rum
As you sit with a generous glass of A.H.Riise rum, you might not think too much about what lies behind the sweet, golden spirit. And nor should you; it’s all about enjoyment, and enjoyment is precisely what A.H.Riise rum is made for. A.H.Riise rum is a rum blend, composed of all that is wonderful, but also unexplained. The word alcohol has the same linguistic roots as the word alchemy, the art of making gold. Just as no one can explain how gold is created, it is also hard to get the precious rum barrels to divulge their secrets. The choice of what barrel the rum is aged in is crucial to ultimate quality. It is our trusty cellar master who chooses the barrels. He bases his choice on what the barrel contained previously, as well as the quality of the wood. The rum must sit in these barrels for many years, so the quality must be the best from the very start.
