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.
Stewed dark fruit, burnt figs, orange peel and a small, well-integrated ‘bite’ from the otherwise high alcohol content
Creamy, spicy and very full-bodied with sherry caramel, dates, cardamom and eucalyptus.
Long and creamy and spiced with a delightful mint overtone
Mahogany
55% vol.

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.
