The Old St. Croix 1888 Copenhagen XO Superior Spirit Drink 40% 0.7 l + GB is a modern homage to the historic blend for which Albert Heinrich Riise's family was honoured at the Great Nordic Exhibition in Copenhagen in 1888. This edition combines the historical heritage of the brand 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 gives the blend its characteristic depth. Maturation takes place in oak barrels that previously contained sweet dessert wines, resulting in a warm, full-bodied style with fine fruity and spicy notes. The elegant appearance in the high-quality gift box (GB) emphasises the special claim of this XO bottling.


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

This 1888 Copenhagen XO Superior Spirit Drink harmonises perfectly with aromatic desserts such as fruit bread, orange tart, gingerbread or cinnamon desserts, whose spicy structure emphasises its wintery depth. Mature cheeses such as Gouda, Cheddar or Pecorino are an ideal match for the warm woody and dried fruit flavours. It is also suitable as an accompaniment to dark chocolate, nut pralines or lightly spiced petit fours. It is best enjoyed neat to reveal its finely balanced sweetness and complex barrel maturity, but it also displays a balanced, harmonious interplay of flavours in an elegant dessert highball.
