Rodinný fond Alberta Heinricha Riiseho a jeho manželky

Ve spolupráci se správci Rodinného fondu Alberta Heinricha Riiseho a jeho manželky jsme vytvořili exkluzivní směs na počest rodiny Riise.

SOUČÁST HISTORIE

Speciální směs pro výjimečné příležitosti

Old St. Croix spolupracuje se správní radou Rodinného fondu Alberta Heinricha Riiseho a jeho manželky na digitalizaci rozsáhlého rodinného archivu, aby byl zpřístupněn veřejnosti. Zároveň finančně podporujeme řadu stipendií a grantů určených členům rodiny, kteří se věnují studiu.

Každých pět let rodina pořádá oslavu narozenin Alberta Heinricha Riiseho, na kterou přispíváme programem, koktejly a samozřejmě i degustací rumu. U příležitosti rodinné oslavy v roce 2015 jsme vytvořili zcela výjimečnou směs Old St. Croix Family Reserve, která se setkala s velkým úspěchem. Tato sběratelská edice je dnes k dostání také ve vybraných obchodech.

Dne 13. září 2025 se potomci Alberta Heinricha Riiseho setkali na 24. velkém rodinném setkání – tradici, která se každých pět let udržuje už více než 120 let. Společnost Old St. Croix přispěla k oslavám uvítacími drinky a ochutnávkou vybraných směsí, včetně Family Reserve. Na závěr večera obdržel každý dospělý člen rodiny dárkový balíček s lahví Legacy Reserve – stylovou tečkou za výjimečným dnem.

Příběh A.H. Riiseho

V červnu roku 1838 udělil dánský stát Albertu Heinrichu Riisemu výhradní koncesi k provozování lékárny na ostrově Sv. Tomáše v Karibiku. Získal tak nejen právo lékárnické praxe, ale i monopol na výrobu alkoholu ve své lékárně.

Zpočátku Albert vyráběl rum a bylinné likéry jako prostředek proti žaludečním potížím. Jeho rum si však brzy získal oblibu i pro jiné než léčebné účely. V roce 1893 získala společnost The A.H. Riise Company svou první mezinárodní zlatou medaili na Světové výstavě v Chicagu. Riise postupně vytvořil a zdokonalil značky jako Old St. Croix Brand, Riise’s Guava Rum, A.H. Riise Rum a mnoho dalších.

Později byl Riise na ostrově Sv. Tomáše oceněn mnoha čestnými tituly. Působil také jako ředitel národní banky a v roce 1860 byl jmenován rytířem Řádu Dannebrog.

Old St. Croix – Timeline

With the return to the name Old St. Croix, we take one step back – to take two steps forward. The name revives the original vision that inspired Albert Heinrich Riise, who, more than 150 years ago, brought Danish West Indian rum to the world.

EU legislation affects the spirits industry

If you have an old bottle of Old St. Croix (or formerly A.H. Riise) in your hand and compare it with a more recent bottle, you might wonder why what used to say ‘Rum’ is now ‘Superior Spirit Drink’. What’s the difference? And does it matter to you?
