A.H.Riise Non Plus Ultra La Galante 0,7l 43,4% Giftbox

A.H. Riise Non Plus Ultra La Galante is an exclusive limited edition from the award-winning Non Plus Ultra series. This premium blend is named after the ship Santa Maria La Galante, Christopher Columbus’s flagship during his voyages to the West Indies. The name also refers to the island of St. Croix, where conditions were ideal for growing sugarcane and where an important chapter in the history of the A.H. Riise brand began.

La Galante is also a tribute to one of the brand’s first trademarks—Old St. Croix—which, along with the A.H. Riise signature, appeared on bottles more than 150 years ago. This historical reference is also marked on the top of the decanter.

Production:

A.H. Riise Non Plus Ultra La Galante is crafted from carefully selected spirits from the West Indies and Central America. Each oak barrel is selected so that the blend captures the richness, exoticism, and character of the West Indian islands. The result is a complex and smooth spirit with a dark mahogany color, a rich aroma, and a long, creamy finish.

Each edition of La Galante is produced in very small batches, typically with fewer than 2,000 carafes per batch. Every cask and every bottle is numbered, making this edition an attractive choice for collectors and lovers of luxury rum blends alike. The number of carafes may vary between batches, and each batch retains its own distinctive character.

Aroma: Captivating and rich, with notes of orange, caramel, crème brûlée, and vanilla. It is complemented by nuances of mahogany and aromatic Bay Rum wood, which grows wild in the West Indies.

A.H. Riise Non Plus Ultra La Galante is a luxurious limited edition for customers seeking an exceptional spirit with a historical story, collector’s value, and a rich, sweet-spicy profile.

About the A.H. Riise brand:

A.H. Riise is a premium brand of rum blends inspired by the legacy of Danish pharmacist Albert Heinrich Riise, who worked on the island of Saint Thomas in the former Danish West Indies starting in 1838. The brand builds on the historical tradition of Caribbean spirits and focuses on rich, elegant, and distinctly aromatic blended products.

Interestingly, in 2025, the A.H. Riise brand was officially renamed Old St. Croix, a move the brand itself describes as a return to its original roots and historical name. As a result, you may encounter both the A.H. Riise label and the newer branding under the name Old St. Croix on the market today.
