The A.H.Riise Navy Strength is a very original pleasure that illustrates to connoisseurs the range that the spirit rum can have. The home of this rum is the Caribbean island of St. Thomas, which is now part of the American Virgin Islands, but was a Danish colony at the time of the distillery’s founding. The young Danish pharmacist A. H. Riise emigrated to this in the 19th century. In addition to his actual profession, he traveled to various Caribbean islands and finally dedicated himself to the production of rum. He would not have been aware at the time that he was laying the foundation for a company that would continue to exist after more than 175 years. Nevertheless, the A. H. Riise distillery has managed to survive the centuries and to produce products that inspire true connoisseurs. The rum A. H. Riise Royal Danish Navy Strength is definitely one of them.
