A.H. Riise Pharmacy Liquorice

People are split, and the split is basically "do you love licorice?" This is a thick, syrupy black licorice liqueur at 18% — dominant licorice, salt, molasses, with hints of coffee and chocolate. Licorice devotees call it delicious and creamy; everyone else finds it too sweet and syrupy, with almost no alcohol bite. One member even bakes with it.

The community says
  • Intense licorice
  • Syrupy sweet
  • Barely rum

The look inside the bottle

How does A.H. Riise Pharmacy Liquorice taste?

Aggregated from 30 community reviews.

Thick, sweet black-licorice liqueur Loved by hardcore licorice fans, disliked by most others. Very sweet, thick and syrupy with a long finish, but light on alcohol and one-note. It's a liqueur, not a rum.

Perfect for

Serious licorice lovers wanting a sweet shot

Less suitable for

Anyone avoiding sugar or wanting a real rum

Syrupy, dark liquid. Licorice is very dominant, salt, molasses. Tastes pretty awful.

Eigentlich kein Rum, sondern, soweit ich weiß, auf Vodka Basis, aber von Riise und ich mag Lakritze ! Das war eigentlich die Entscheidung für diesen Kauf. Ist aber so gar nicht mein Geschmack und wird daher in der Vitrine verstauben…
