A. H. Riise Centennial Celebration

I have this one in my collection, which will remain unopened. So I was quite excited when I had opportunity to taste it in this calendar :) I understand why it is has so big score, because it is not sweet as the others A. H. Riise rums :) Of course it is awesome rhum :) You can taste oily, woody a leather taste -> not my cup of tea. But you can taste usual Riise "blend" taste in the background :) For me it means I will have higher motivation to keep it unopened :)

Sweetness -> 5/10
Strength -> 7/10

Ve vůni jsou cítíte rozinky a dřevo společně s melasou. Chuť je vyvážená a ne tak sladká. Je cítit karamel, dřevo a melasa.

Great color. Dark and nice. The aroma is a absolute winner. Cinnamon, licor, vanilla and a hint of chocolate. The taste is a unconditional pleasure. The sweet nice balanced rum. A hint of burn in the aftermath but in a great balance. Chocolate, oak and vanilla is just some of the great tastes in this eminent great rum.

Sweet enough but not too much
Dominates the taste of date and vanilla.
This is a very special rum, you will like it.

Aroma is typical AHR but taste is less sweet, not so sticky. More mature and 45% is also helping.
Aftertaste is not long with some bitter tones. Overall one of better from AHR line but price could be lower.

Smooth, very subtle aroma. Vanilla is there, some cocoa. Not very sweet. Alcohol is very well covered and integrated, but first smell is alcohol.
Almost perfect!

Qualität die man schmeckt. Kein Schnickschnack, wer einfach nur einen guten Rum sucht, wird hier fündig.

Untypischer A.H. Riise.
Braucht etwas Zeit im Glas. Nicht so süss wie die anderen aber sehr vielfältige Aromen.

není tak sladký jako zbytek rodiny, lihovější konec, vodový, nic moc

Sice příjemný rum, ale i tak zklamání, čekal jsem víc, část z řady XO příjemnější
