Riise Black Gem Collection – Black Larimar is a limited-edition rum inspired by one of the Caribbean’s rarest gemstones, bottled at 45.2% ABV and individually numbered in just 5,995 bottles. Crafted for collectors and connoisseurs alike, it combines rich, exotic sweetness with a darker, more mature profile that reflects the spirit of the West Indies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a light liquid honey color. The nose opens with a bold impression of orange peel, followed by sweet honey and soft vanilla. On the palate, the orange peel returns with a spiced edge, joined by a dark, slightly tingling mint character, wrapped in vanilla and underpinned by subtle but distinct oak.\n\nThe finish is long and evolving, with oak and age becoming more pronounced over time. Lingering orange notes remain on the palate, while delicate leather tones emerge at the very end, adding depth and a refined, mature impression. Its structure suggests excellent appeal as a sipping rum with strong collectible value rather than long-term cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack Larimar is part of A. H. Riise’s Black Gem Collection, a series inspired by the natural treasures and fertile soils of the West Indies and Central America. The rum draws on sugarcane grown in mineral-rich tropical terroir, where the same land that gives character to the islands’ sugarcane has long shaped the region’s rum-making tradition. As a limited numbered release, it is designed as a special batch expression that emphasizes rarity and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to appreciate its layered sweetness and oak-driven depth. It pairs well with dark chocolate, orange desserts, crème brûlée, or a fine cigar, and can also complement roasted nuts or spiced pastries. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and decanting is not necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA. H. Riise traces its origins to 1838, when Danish apothecary Albert Heinrich Riise opened a pharmacy on St. Thomas and began experimenting with spirit-based elixirs and rum. The brand became closely linked with the rum heritage of the Danish West Indies, later gaining international recognition and even winning a gold medal at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Today, under the Old St. Croix\/A. H. Riise legacy, the producer remains a respected name in premium Caribbean-style rum and limited-edition collector releases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A. H.
