Dragør sits quietly by the water, but the story behind this bottle began somewhere else entirely – on a lush island in the West Indies, where a young Danish pharmacist found his calling in molasses and heat. Albert Heinrich Riise had no way of knowing his name would travel the world for more than 150 years. XO Tribute Reserve gathers that whole story into one glass.

Expert's Description

Old St. Croix XO Tribute Reserve is a Rum Based Spirit, finished in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 43.8%.

It carries an old name with new pride. Old St. Croix was the trademark Riise already used back in the 1870s, when he began selling his West Indian rum to the United States and Central America – named after the island of St. Croix, once known as the "Garden of the West Indies" for its lush sugar cane cultivation. In June 2025, the name officially returned after decades under the A.H. Riise banner, and Tribute Reserve is one of the first bottles to carry it again.

Tribute Reserve sits at the very top of the XO Reserve range. Here, the Master Blender works exclusively with casks from the oldest, best-preserved reserve stock – distillates sourced from Central America and the West Indies, finished in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a deeper, more balsamic character than the rest of the XO range, with a slightly elevated strength that adds weight to the palate without ever turning sharp.

The bottle is a Limited Edition, with only 2,000 produced in total – each one individually numbered on the label.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The nose opens with dark chocolate and bergamot, with a discreet hint of tobacco hiding underneath – almost like dusty wood in an old warehouse.

Palate

On the palate it is surprisingly light and fruity, with a touch of peppermint playing against the same bergamot from the nose.

Finish

The finish is dominated by peppermint and milk chocolate, while the tobacco returns once more – very discreet, more an afterthought than a statement.

Did you know?

Look for the word "rum" on the label and you won't find it. EU spirits regulation only allows the term "Rum" for distillates that meet specific requirements for raw materials and maturation – and because Old St. Croix's blends fall outside those, the label reads "Superior Spirit Drink" instead. The taste is the same; the name is just more precise.

The rest of the family is about colour and sugar. Dry Lemon declines. Tart lemon over a clean vodka base, and not a great deal else, which is the entire reason it exists.

Expert description

Cuba Dry Lemon is a Danish Vodka Spirit Drink from Spritfabrikken Danmark in Kolding, made with triple distilled vodka carrying a lightly tart lemon flavour and bottled at 30%.

It is the driest bottle in the range and was developed for people who do not want things too sweet. Where the strawberry and orange lean on boiled sweets, this one sits closer to the peel of a lemon, and the sugar has been turned down noticeably.

The base is vodka distilled three times, and because the strength is set at 30% the label reads spirit drink made with vodka. The producer recommends it chilled, shaken with ice or lengthened with soda or juice, and it is built for long drinks rather than for sipping neat.

In the glass it behaves like a mild vodka with the lemon already added: you do not need to bring nearly as much acid of your own. The house suggestions are a Lemon Drop or a Tom Collins, but it also works with plain sparkling water and a slice of lemon.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh lemon peel first, bright and light. Behind it sits a mild sweetness and a trace of elderflower.

Palate

Tart and crisp with the lemon up front. Sweetness is present but takes up less room than in the rest of the range, and the vodka base gives structure without sharpness.

Finish

Short and dry. The citrus peel lingers for a moment, and there is no syrupy tail behind it.

Specifications

Name: Cuba Dry Lemon
Producer: Spritfabrikken Danmark

Northeast of the Arctic Circle, where summer is short and the blueberries taste all the sweeter for it, sits a small distillery that has poured the Swedish forest floor into a bottle. Blueberry Pie is the brief, intense sweetness of summer captured in a dram, just as happy served over ice as mixed into a cocktail.

The Expert's Description

Norrbottens Destilleri Blueberry Pie is a Swedish spirit drink bottled at 15% ABV.

The bottle comes from Norrbottens Destilleri in Töre, a small distillery in Norrbotten close to the Arctic Circle along Sweden's northern coast. The distillery was founded in 2016 by Dennis Bejedal, a self-taught distiller born in Stockholm who is now based in the village of Pålänge, home to roughly 400 people. He was formerly a professional poker player and travelled widely before distilling became his consuming passion. Every bottle from the distillery is hand-dipped in wax.

Blueberry Pie is a limited edition release, made with cold-pressed wild blueberries that deliver a deep, forest-driven berry flavour, rounded off with a soft note of vanilla. The result is a rich, versatile liqueur that works just as well over ice as in a Spritz or as a flavour booster in desserts and cocktails.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Ripe, forest-fresh blueberries with a soft vanilla note in the background.

Palate

Sweet and berry-driven, with clear blueberry character and a creamy vanilla roundness.

Some spirits ask to be noticed. Black Crown doesn't bother asking. Romdeluxe took the same sugar cane soul that runs through their Island Empress and pushed the strength up to 60%, and the sweetness never once flinches.

Expert Description

Black Crown by Romdeluxe is a sugar cane-based Spirit Drink matured in Ex-Bourbon casks and bottled at 60%.

It's the bolder sibling to Romdeluxe's Island Empress, built on the same sugar cane character but taken well past standard strength, where the Caribbean rum base meets Jamaican intensity head-on. Romdeluxe is a Danish independent bottler with a broad focus on rum and sugar cane spirits from around the world, and Black Crown is their statement that sweetness and high proof don't have to fight each other.

Time in Ex-Bourbon casks lends colour and a soft foundation underneath the heat, while the sugar cane keeps the profile medium sweet rather than syrupy.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Dark brown sugar and overripe fruit arrive first, backed by a touch of toasted oak from the Ex-Bourbon casks. Underneath the sweetness sits a dry, alcohol-forward edge that leaves no doubt about the 60%.

Palate

Heavy and sweet with caramel and dark sugar, but it never turns cloying. A spiced note of clove and dark chocolate cuts through, while the alcohol brings a warm, almost peppery bite throughout.

Finish

Long and warm, with burnt sugar and a dry, woody finish that lingers.

A queen without borders - Island Empress deliberately bridges islands and continents rather than sticking to a single country of origin.

Expert description

RomDeLuxe Island Empress - A Queen Without Borders is a Spirit Drink based on dark Caribbean rum, finished in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 40%.

Island Empress is made for those who love sweetness, warmth and depth in the glass. It is inspired by Caribbean rum traditions and combines dark rum from the region with powerful Jamaican elements. The result is a soft, sensual and approachable spirit built on movement, culture and warmth rather than geographic borders - hence the subtitle "A Queen Without Borders".

The flavour is rich and seductive: vanilla and dark chocolate form a full, warm base, while cinnamon and liquorice add a spiced layer that brings mystery and character. Maturation in ex-bourbon casks adds extra depth and complexity. Behind the brand is RomDeLuxe, a Danish bottler specialising in selecting and composing exclusive rum releases from around the world.

Rhubarb is one of the first signs that spring has finally found its way to Norrbotten - tart, fresh and a little impatient. Norrbottens Destilleri has captured that feeling in a bottle: a liqueur that is equal parts freshness and sweetness, just as happy on its own as mixed into something else.

The old trade routes of the West Indies live on in the name Old St. Croix, the Danish house once known as A.H. Riise. Black Barrel Navy Spiced is the house's take on the dark, spiced style navies once carried home from the Caribbean.

Expert Description

Old St. Croix Black Barrel Navy Spiced is a Spiced Spirit Drink based on rum from the Caribbean, bottled at 40%.

The base is a rum-based spirit aged in heavily charred, black barrels, which gives the name Black Barrel. The heavy charring of the oak reduces tannins and opens up the wood's pores, creating a softer, rounder and more complex character than lightly charred casks. A spice blend is then added, leaning toward a classic Christmas-spiced style.

Old St. Croix is the new name for the traditional Danish house A.H. Riise, part of the legacy of Danish trading links to Saint Croix in the Danish West Indies, where the rum trade was once a central part of the Danish colonial trading network.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Mocha, walnuts and charred figs meet lightly toasted oak.

Palate

Christmas spices and dark chocolate melt together in a deep, rich flavour.

Some whiskies are born in a mountain pass in Scotland, where time is the only ingredient that matters. Stateless was born somewhere else entirely — in a laboratory, chasing the restlessness of the travelling circus and the sweetness of an overripe banana.

Expert's Description

Stateless Banana Flavored Whiskey is an American Whiskey with a natural banana flavor, created through molecular flavor technology and bottled at 40%. Behind the bottle is the Hong Kong-based company Milestone Beverages, which has taken a radically different approach to whiskey production. Instead of years spent in a cask, the company's scientists analyze the molecules found in classic American whiskeys and then recreate them in the lab, fine-tuning flavor, aroma and texture down to the smallest detail. The base is a traditionally made whiskey, which only afterwards gets its banana character added through the molecular process.

The name Stateless is borrowed from the old travelling circus, where the troupe never had a fixed home but moved from town to town, building their own world wherever they pitched the tent. That same restlessness runs through the brand, which presents itself as unbound by the usual rules of origin and ageing. The producer also claims the molecular method uses less water, grain and storage time than classic whiskey production — a claim that is part of how the brand tells its own story, though it hasn't been independently verified. Banana Flavored Whiskey is one of several expressions in the range, which also includes a classic Kentucky Blended Bourbon and apple and peach variants, and the bottle has found its way onto shelves across Asia and Europe since launch.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The nose is sweet and full from the first sniff, heavy with overripe banana alongside scorched brown sugar and a hint of vanilla. Underneath sits a lightly toasted oak note, a reminder that there's still a whiskey in here somewhere.

Palate

On the palate, a soft, vanilla-spiced sweetness arrives first, quickly followed by caramelized banana and a touch of maple syrup. The whiskey's own spice and a trace of toasted wood keep it from tipping into cloying territory.

Finish

The finish is medium-length and creamy, with baked banana the last thing to linger, spiced by a warm, dry whiskey close.

Some rums go by their real name on the shelf. This one goes by a code name - "The Secret Rum" - among those who have already discovered it.

Expert Description

The Secret Spirit is a Spirit Drink based on flavoured rum from Spain and the Dominican Republic, bottled at 38%.

The blend is composed and hand-blended by the master blender at Dansk Rom Blanderi, who has carefully selected flavoured rum from two different countries of origin for a unified, smooth flavour profile.

Under the historic Old St. Croix name there is also a sweeter, fruitier branch of the range, where the rum heritage of the Danish West Indies is spiced with juicy orange.

Expert Description

Old St. Croix Elixir Orange Grove is an Orange Liqueur based on rum, bottled at 40%.

The range carries the name Old St. Croix, the trademark pharmacist A.H. Riise used to market Danish West Indian rum 150 years ago, at a time when St. Croix was a Danish colony.

Toasted coconut, mango and a touch of chili from Negros – Don Papa's tribute to the island the whole brand is rooted in.

Alon is a limited edition release, flavoured with toasted coconut, jackfruit and warm spices, all inspired by Negros' nickname "Sugarlandia" – the island that has historically produced a large share of the Philippines' sugar. Because Alon uses ingredients from this one island only, it stands apart from Don Papa's broader, wider-sourced blends.

From the same house that made Single Domaine rum its trademark also comes a softer, coconut-spiced side under the name Meticho.

Expert Description

Rum Nation Meticho Coconut is a Rum with added coconut flavouring, bottled at 40%.

The product is released by Rum Nation, the Italian independent bottler otherwise known for its pure single-country releases. The Meticho range takes a different path, spicing the rum base with natural coconut flavouring for a sweeter, more dessert-like style that sets it apart from the house's classic Single Domaine releases. The name Meticho refers to the range's focus on creamy, sweet flavour variants, of which coconut is one of the most popular.

The result is a soft, sweet rum, where creamy coconut meets caramel and a touch of vanilla in a light, approachable profile.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Creamy coconut, caramel and a touch of vanilla.

Palate

Sweet and creamy with coconut and brown sugar.

A gold medal from 1888 is still the name of the party, more than 130 years later.

Expert description
