A.H. Riise Non Plus Ultra Black comes from the U.S. Virgin Islands, located next to Puerto Rico, between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
This is the same rum as A.H. Riise Non Plus Ultra, but aged in a heavily burnt American oak barrel.
It's a limited edition.
Nico's tasting notes
In brief: round - roasted - fruity - sweet spicy - pastry-like
On the nose, we discover a very dark Riise. First coffee, then lots of molasses, black, thick and licorice-like. This thickness is enveloping and even heady, reminiscent of a very sweet coffee or a burnt, buttery caramel. The brand's trademark candy character is present, but for now it's smoldering under the ashes.
It's the aeration that will deliver all the unbridled confectionery we're used to from these rums. Candies join the party: cherry marshmallows, tagada strawberries, tangy bananas, you name it.
On the palate, the attack is very soft, then gives way to a whiff of Christmas spices. Another of the brand's signatures, these spices are indeed present. A torrent of vanilla then carries off a host of sweets: milk-strawberry candy, cherry lollipop, gourmands will be delighted!
In the finish, licorice finds a small place, surrounded above all by a world of powdered sugar.
"A slightly darker version of the brand's style, but we find its very gourmand and gently spicy markers without worry..."

A delicious rum. On the nose a milk caramel candy, on the palate a confirmation of the nose followed by black cherry. In the end, red fruit and some sweet spices. This is just my opinion, but this rum is a delight to be enjoyed sparingly. It can end up disgusting. Perhaps it would be better on the rocks.

Good product.
English candy sensation with notes of black cherries and spices.
Exquisite but in small doses as a digestive, for example, too much would make it sickening.
To be seen on ice.
I like it, but I prefer golden amber for its citrus and grape notes.
