A.H. Riise Black Gem Collection – Black Larimar 70 cl. 45,2%

The Black Gem Collection (3 variants in total) is inspired by the rare black gemstones that hide deep beneath the soil and waters of the West Indies — where the very essence of rum was first awakened. When creating a A.H. Riise bottle, we use rum from a wide variety of casks, all with different ages and origins. However, not all casks are emptied to the last drop. Often there is a little left in the cask. A small amount of amazing rum. Our master distiller has followed in the footsteps of Albert Heinrich Riise on a quest to create a series of extraordinary blends based on these casks. Each cask is hand-picked, carefully evaluated, and blended to create something exceptional. The result is a collection of outstanding luxury blends tapped in a limited number of beautiful black bottles. 5.955 unique bottles that can never be recreated. Exquisite blends, that capture the very soul of the beautiful West Indies. Available 31st of January.
