Old St. Croix XO 175 Years Anniversary
Old St. Croix XO 175 Years Anniversary is a premium Caribbean rum spirit created in honor of 175 years of rum-making tradition on the island of St. Croix. This anniversary edition pays tribute to the rich history of distillation in the Caribbean and represents a rum with an elegant and balanced character typical of quality rums from this region.
This very special edition was crafted by the Master Blender from the most exceptional and oldest casks that the A.H. Riise distillery cellars could offer. The heart of this rum aged for a long 21 years, supported by younger rums.
It matured at low temperatures and high humidity in deep, dark cellars, where it had the best conditions for the aging process. Once the desired blend was achieved, this rum spirit was once again sealed in ex-sherry Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso casks.
The aroma reveals pleasant notes of vanilla, oranges, butter, cookies, complemented by subtle hints of oak and spice. The taste is full, smooth, and balanced, with tones of creamy caramel, mint, and pineapple. Gradually, hints of oak and sweet molasses develop, adding depth and elegance to the rum.
The finish is medium to long, gently sweet and pleasantly warming with notes of vanilla and oak. Old St. Croix XO 175 Years Anniversary is the perfect rum for slow sipping, best neat or on the rocks, to highlight its rich aromatic profile.
