Review by [2stoned] aKu
Candied oranges, raisins, cotton candy, hidden stewed yellow plums, a few Christmas spices... ...soft, even really creamy in the mouth but not watery, has volume, the 40% ABV fits well, the nose repeats itself + some milk chocolate... ...medium length, a bit of wood can be guessed, the spices get a bit stronger and more bitter and it stays sweet. Dangerously easy to drink, it goes down like oil. It's quite simple, but I still like it.
Review by Old Pirate 🏴☠️🇨🇿
The first rum, which caused me to fall in love with rums. It's heavy, sweet and fruity (mostly orange and raisins). Most of the rum lovers hate A.H. Riise for their sweetness but to be honest, if somebody ask me, how the sailor's rum should taste, first which I will told - sweet and heavy, like you will drink a bread.
Review by Tim
Very artificial-looking rum. Sweet, slightly fruity, somehow roasted, nutty and wintry spicy. Not subterranean, but not good either.
Review by Daniel
Süßer, fruchtiger Riise der sich durch die Schokonoten von seinen noch fruchtigeren Brüdern unterscheidet.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Not quite as bad as the founders reserve but still extremely sweet and artificial. More reminiscent of Fanta syrup with licorice and roasted aromas. The alcohol is reasonably well integrated here, but I still wouldn't call it delicious.

Lecker, Karamellig
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
A tasting from december 2018. Back then, this was okay for me, but today it would be way too sweet. And it would not be called rum today. It is sweet and a bit spicy in the nose, and very sweet in the taste, with notes of candied apples and some spice.

Fantastischer Geschmack. Erstmals getrunken in Wismar 2025.
Review by Chrischi78
I really made a mistake on my vacation in Denmark. I just don't like it. Sweet to the point of no return. Then an artificial taste of bitter orange. It will probably gather dust on my shelf.

süsser, karamelisierter Geschmack - leichter Abgang
Review by LukaŽiga
7:Like most of the brand's rums, the nose is initially marked by fairly heavy notes of banana or very ripe pineapple. And as with most of these rums, these notes are very stealthy, followed by soft spices. We then get lots of cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg, like in a Christmas gingerbread. The sensation is very spicy and peppery. There's also a hint of vegetal, expressed through cola and a cigar leaf. Spices definitely dominate, but an oxidized wineiness flatters the nose. Aeration gives way to red fruits, and we imagine a sweet grenadine. The amarena cherry is there, in the form of tangy candy. The fruity aspect that follows is rather surprising given the overall profile: raspberry jam takes us towards the creaminess of the goy ave, which contrasts with the candy side. 5,8:On the palate, spices fly in all directions, joined by coffee. One almost forgets that this is a cane spirit, but the molasses is now present. It's black and licorice-like. As on the nose, there's an oxidized wineiness that, combined with the prune, is rather gourmand. Chocolate ranks alongside all this greediness. 5:The finish is very sweet, the prune swollen and candied.

Vyrazne sladky rum s chutou tropickeho ovocia. Velmi dobry
Review by Rumbaer
Bernsteinfarben. In der Nase Gewürze, holzige Noten gemischt mit starker süße. Der Geschmack dann auch nach Holz, Mandeln, Gewürzen und sehr süß. Für mich ähnlich zum Royal Danish Navy Frigatte Jylland
Review by Blaž Ulaga
Very good, rich but still easy sipping rum with character 🔝 Nose: very rich and caramel 👍 Maybe some light mint hints in the back ... Body: full-rounded liqueurish body that confirms the nose - way too sweet for my taste 🤷♂️ Finish: long and sweet - again not my favourite cup of tea... All in all, rum for the "rookies" and advanced rum lovers ☝️
Review by Johannes
Very sweet with artificial flavors of orange, caramel, cake batter.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"They want to like rum but unfortunately they just don't get it. You're doing yourself a dis-service. World Class? If Pussers British Royal Navy Rum is world class Navy rum then this is the England football team. Overrated? Vastly in certain circles. The worst rum I have ever had? Probably."Read full review →
