The A.H. Riise distillery on St. Thomas in the Caribbean, founded in the 1840s by pharmacist Albert Heinrich Riise during the Danish colonial period, combines the traditional art of distillation with its founder's passion for discovery. The Black Gem Collection, consisting of three exclusive rums, is inspired by rare black gemstones that lie hidden deep beneath the waters of the West Indies.
The Black Gem Collection by A.H. Riise, inspired by rare black gemstones from the West Indies, comprises three variants. For each bottle, rum from different barrels of different origins and maturity levels is used. Barrels that have not been completely emptied often contain small quantities of exceptional rum, which are processed into unique blends by the master distiller.
Each barrel is hand-picked and carefully assessed to create an exclusive blend. The limited collection consists of 5,955 bottles, which are bottled in fine black bottles and cannot be reproduced due to their uniqueness.
