Old St. Croix A.H. Riise 1888 COPENHAGEN XO Superior Spirit Drink 40% vol. 0.7 l in a gift box online kaufen

The Old St. Croix 1888 Copenhagen XO Superior Spirit Drink 40% 0.7 l + GB is a modern tribute to the historic blend for which Albert Heinrich Riise’s family received an award at the Great Nordic Exhibition in Copenhagen in 1888. This edition combines the brand’s historical heritage with a contemporary, aromatically complex interpretation. It is based on extra-matured, double-distilled casks from renowned distilleries in the Caribbean and Central America, whose harmonious combination lends the blend its characteristic depth. Maturation takes place in oak casks that previously held sweet dessert wines, resulting in a warm, full-bodied style with delicate fruit and spice notes. The elegant presentation in the high-quality gift box (GB) underlines the exceptional quality of this XO bottling.


With its polished, amber-coloured appearance, the 1888 Copenhagen XO displays an aromatic profile that reflects both its historical inspiration and the unmistakable signature of the Old St Croix range. Soft woody tones meet dried fruit, whilst spicy accents and subtle dessert notes lend the spirit an elegant complexity. Its balanced sweetness and warm oak notes make this bottling a versatile companion for quiet moments of indulgence.

Tasting Note

Colour: Polished amber.

Nose: Soft oak, old leather and dried apricots.

Palate: Christmas biscuits, orange peel, warm and spicy with a hint of English wine gums.

Finish: Dried fruit, aged oak and a subtle hint of sherry.

This 1888 Copenhagen XO Superior Spirit Drink pairs superbly with aromatic desserts such as fruit cake, orange tart, gingerbread or cinnamon-based desserts, whose spicy character emphasises its wintry depth. Matured cheeses such as Gouda, Cheddar or Pecorino are an ideal match for the warm woody and dried fruit notes. It is also well suited as an accompaniment to dark chocolate, nut pralines or lightly spiced petit fours. When enjoyed neat, it best reveals its finely balanced sweetness and complex barrel ageing, yet it also displays a balanced, harmonious interplay of flavours in an elegant dessert highball.
