Old St. Croix XO Reserve Legacy Spirit Drink 70 cl

150 years ago, Danish pharmacist A.H. Riise put Danish West Indian rum on the world map under the trademark Old St. Croix, and the name now lives on in a revived edition with roots tracing back to the Danish colonial territories.

Expert Description

Old St. Croix XO Reserve Legacy is a Rum, bottled at 42%.

The name Old St. Croix comes from the trademark pharmacist Albert Heinrich Riise used to market Danish West Indian rum 150 years ago, at a time when the Danish West Indies, including St. Croix, were a Danish colony. The AH Riise brand has since revived the Old St. Croix name as a standalone range honouring this original history. The XO Reserve Legacy edition is an aged rum that builds on the tradition of sourcing characterful rum distillates from the former Danish West Indian territory.

The result is a round, caramel-forward rum, where tropical fruit meets a warm, lightly spiced finish.
