The Old St. Croix A.H. Riise XO Explorer Reserve Germany Edition is a limited-edition rum-based spirit from the special XO Explorer series. This collection comprises editions for ten different countries, each presented in a custom-designed gift box in the respective national language and as numbered bottles. The Germany Edition was designed specifically for the German market, as well as for collectors and enthusiasts of the brand, and is limited to 15,176 numbered bottles. Thematically, the edition pays tribute to German pioneers and innovations in fields such as physics, quantum mechanics, X-ray technology, the automotive industry, communications and environmental technology. In this way, the bottling combines a distinctive collector’s appeal with the brand’s renowned XO style.


For the XO Explorer Reserve Germany Edition, a carefully balanced blend of matured rum-based distillates has been created, the character of which is significantly shaped by ageing in oak casks. The result is a smooth and well-rounded composition in which ripe fruit and caramel meet distinctive woody notes. Caramelised figs and candied citrus peel in particular complement the more robust notes of oak, tobacco and leather. The Germany Edition is bottled at 40 per cent in a 0.7-litre bottle, complete with a gift box. The combination of a limited and numbered bottling, a country-specific gift box and a matured XO blend makes this edition particularly appealing to collectors of the A.H. Riise and Old St. Croix Explorer ranges.
