A.H. Riise Danish Navy

Navy Strength

55% vol.

Royal Danish Navy Strength 55% is cultivated and created based on the original recipes used for the our fantastic and bestselling “Royal Danish Navy 40%”. The powerful and flavoursome drops distinguish themselves by having a high alcohol content without affecting the taste, aside from the intended ‘bite’ in the aroma. This is achieved using the traditional pot-still distillation method, which results in a high content of esters and a powerful aroma.

A.H. Riise and the Danish fleet

A.H. Riise “Royal Danish Navy Strenght 55%” is specially created to honour the long and lasting relationship between the Danish Navy and A.H. Riise, when rum was a central part of a sailor’s salary when serving in both the Danish merchant fleet or in the military navy. It was initially required to be particularly strong to prevent health problems at sea, but also later when rum became the preferred naval drink for social occasions.

The story of A.H. Riise

In June 1838, the Danish Government officially appointed Albert Heinrich Riise as the exclusive pharmacist for the caribbean island, Saint Thomas, part of the former Danish West Indies. This granted him monopoly status to produce alcohol in his pharmacy.
