The A.H. Riise Frogman Danish Navy is a rum produced in the American Virgin Islands, specifically, on the island of Saint Thomas. For its making, a blend of rums aged up to 20 years is used. The Frogman Royal Danish Navy was supplied to military ships that were moored in the port of Charlotte Amalie, on the then “Danish West Indies”, now the US Virgin Islands.
This line saw the light back in 2016, to homage the Danish special forces Frogman, which operate mainly in the water, and therefore need something to warm up. Hence the high alcohol content.

TASTING NOTES – A.H. RIISE FROGMAN DANISH NAVY
Nose
It develops scents of maraschino and a mix of balsamic herbs, where cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and a hint of licorice stand out. Very Fresh.
Palate
the intense mix of balsamic herbs is confirmed, enriched with citrus fruits, a riot of spices and pimento. There is also an intense aroma of zuppa inglese.
Finish
Long persistence, with spicy notes and balsamic herbs.
Overall, the A.H. Riise Frogman Danish Navy is a product definitely outside the box, which also partially differs from the other productions of the brand. The aromatic palette is way particular and wide, with a large range of balsamic herbs.
