Maturing the soft drops

The secret is hidden within the barrels used to mature the soft drops and the history they represent. These oak barrels have previously been home to rich port wine and are the reason for the immaculate and distinct notes of this XO Reserve “Port Cask”. All our casks and the perfectly matched distillates are specially chosen by our trusted cellar master. Each sip is an expression of true craftsmanship.

Riise’s weird and wonderful creatures

In his search for more knowledge, A.H. Riise found a variety of herbs, plants, and animals. Hylodes Riisei is a mottled yellow frog which Riise and Lütken had registered on Saint Thomas in 1863. Its present status is now somewhat threatened due to loss of its habitat. Today it can be found on our Port Cask XO reserve label.
