Old St. Croix Danish Navy The Original (70cl, 40%)

A rum-based spirit interpreting the navy spirit once supplied by Albert Heinrich Riise to the Danish navy. It blends selected cask stocks from various distilleries in the Caribbean and Central America, with oak cask maturation, slow fermentation and distillation to 85%, then reduced to 40% vol for bottling. Caramel, spice notes and a light smoky nuance complement its rounded, balanced character. The brand continues the A.H. Riise story, and the master blender selects and combines cask stocks for each blend. Nose: liquorice and orange peel with coconut and papaya, plus eucalyptus and mint, with reduced balsamic and black tea nuances. Palate: full-bodied, with citrus and the green impressions of eucalyptus and mint balanced with liquorice and reduced balsamic. Finish: long, with mocha and dark chocolate with orange.
