A.H. Riise Black Barrel Navy Spiced Rum
Opinions land all over the place here, from lukewarm sixes to a few enthusiastic nines. What most agree on: heavy cinnamon and caramel, a Christmas-cookie vibe, and a cola-like softness typical of A.H. Riise. Interestingly, several call it one of the less sweet bottles in the range, though sweetness still leads. Notes of honey, dried fruit and orange peel round it out.
The community says- Caramel and cinnamon
- Christmas-cookie warmth
- Tastes sweetened

Sweet, cinnamon-heavy spiced Christmas sipper Divides drinkers: fans love the caramel-and-cinnamon Christmas character, others find it unbalanced and too sweet with a short finish. Less sugary than its Riise siblings, but still a sweet, spiced style.

Review by Tomáš Šárocký
Nice sweet smell, caramel and honey, a bit of fruits (citrus). Taste is very similar to the smell, but the real taste starts after the swallow. The finish is very smooth and not strong at all. Overall very nice rum!
Review by heckto🥃
Angenehmer Süßrum mit Karamell und Honig. In der Nase etwas Zimt, Vanille und Gewürze. Am Gaumen ist er weniger süß als erwartet und erinnert mit seinen Zimtnoten an Weihnachtsgebäck. Für diese Preisklasse ein sehr ordentlicher Rum.

Heerlijk zoet, fudge en licht fruit
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Christmas spices and dark chocolate combine in a deep, bold taste - The mocha returns and fades slowly.

Very nice !
Review by rum_sk
Retasting and I still agree with what I said last time. One of the least sweet rums from A.H Riise. Considerably less sweeter than its more expensive siblings. Since the sweetness is supressed a bit it, is a very nice rum in its price class. Very nice day-to-day sippable rum although the finish is extremely short.

Review by Pavel Peknica
Cinnamon (a lot), gingerbread, very expressive, interesting, but not for the bottle
Review by Rolf Pankoff 🇩🇪
The smell bothers me here, I can't even write what it smells like to me!
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
In my opinion this should likely not be drank neat, as it has more of a cocktail-wise characteristic. It is spicy in the nose, and in the notes I found vanilla, cinnamon and caramel. It works rather well in cocktails with ice
