apoteker, naturforsker og pioner, der lagde grunden til det, der i dag er Old St. Croix.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fra \u00c6r\u00f8 til Vestindien<\/strong><br \/>Navnet Riise har i generationer v\u00e6ret forbundet med vestindisk spiritus, dansk s\u00f8fart og eventyret om en ung mand fra \u00c6r\u00f8, der rejste ud og skabte sig et livsv\u00e6rk i Caribien. Albert Heinrich Riise blev f\u00f8dt i \u00c6r\u00f8sk\u00f8bing i 1810. Som ung kom han i apotekerl\u00e6re og udviklede tidligt en st\u00e6rk interesse for l\u00e6gekunst, botanik og zoologi. Allerede f\u00f8r han rejste til Vestindien, var han kendt som en dygtig og ambiti\u00f8s fagmand. Men det var p\u00e5 St. Thomas, hans liv for alvor tog form.<\/p>\n<p><strong>St. Thomas Apothecary Hall<\/strong><br \/>I 1838 fik Albert Heinrich Riise apotekerprivilegiet i Charlotte Amalie p\u00e5 St. Thomas i Dansk Vestindien. Som kongeligt udn\u00e6vnt apoteker havde han eneret til at fremstille alkohol p\u00e5 apoteket \u2013 en rettighed, der fik stor betydning. Efter nogle opstarts\u00e5r blev St. Thomas Apothecary Hall etableret i Dronningensgade i Charlotte Amalie. Her m\u00f8dtes videnskab og h\u00e5ndv\u00e6rk. Riise udviklede eliksirer, bitters, medicinske pr\u00e6parater og aromatiske spiritusprodukter baseret p\u00e5 lokale urter, sukkerr\u00f8r og vestindiske r\u00e5varer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-66c97fe1\" data-id=\"66c97fe1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3158bc61 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3158bc61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"652\" src=\"https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DT130562.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-39297\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DT130562.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DT130562-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DT130562-768x501.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4a672754 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"4a672754\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:4,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_affectedRange&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;end&quot;:100}},&quot;background_motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile_extra&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-15bdbe88\" data-id=\"15bdbe88\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c00333c animated-fast elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3c00333c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">St. Croix - \u00f8en, r\u00e5varen og navnet<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b725589 animated-fast elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6b725589\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For at forst\u00e5 Old St. Croix m\u00e5 man ogs\u00e5 forst\u00e5 \u00f8en St. Croix. I 1700- og 1800-tallet var St. Croix kendt som Vestindiens store landbrugs\u00f8 \u2013 frodig, solrig og ideel til dyrkning af sukkerr\u00f8r. \u00d8en fik tilnavnet <strong>The Garden of the West Indies<\/strong>, og med sine mange sukkerbrug og destillerier blev St. Croix et centrum for sukker, melasse og romproduktion.<\/p>\n<p>Det var denne kvalitet, Riise trak p\u00e5 fra sin base p\u00e5 St. Thomas. Han indk\u00f8bte sukkerr\u00f8rsspiritus og melasse fra St. Croix og brugte dem som grundlag for sine egne produkter. Med et moderne ord kan man kalde ham en tidlig <strong>Master Blender<\/strong>: en fagmand, der udvalgte de bedste r\u00e5varer og arbejdede med styrke, balance og aroma, indtil produktet fik den \u00f8nskede karakter.<\/p>\n<p>Old St. Croix-navnet var derfor ikke blot et navn p\u00e5 en etiket. Det var en mark\u00f8r for oprindelse, h\u00e5ndv\u00e6rk og vestindisk kvalitet. Allerede p\u00e5 Riises tid vakte St. Croix associationer til sukkerr\u00f8r, melasse og aromatisk spiritus, og da Riise og siden hans efterkommere bragte produkterne ud p\u00e5 internationale markeder, blev Old St. Croix det navn, der bar den caribiske oprindelse med sig.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-519c1eef\" data-id=\"519c1eef\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d3fc4b1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d3fc4b1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-79fb4d5\" data-id=\"79fb4d5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46ebf75 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"46ebf75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dyrekort.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-39318\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dyrekort.png 900w, https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dyrekort-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dyrekort-768x435.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36cccc6 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-mobile_extra elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"36cccc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"705\" src=\"https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DyrekortMobil.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-39323\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DyrekortMobil.png 616w, https:\/\/oldstcroix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DyrekortMobil-262x300.png 262w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8dc9a0d elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8dc9a0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Naturforskeren Riise<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fec60a0 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fec60a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:400}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Men Albert Heinrich Riise var langt mere end en dygtig apoteker og forretningsmand. Han var ogs\u00e5 en passioneret naturforsker. Fra St. Thomas kastede han sig over studiet af \u00f8ernes flora og fauna. Han indsamlede planter, dyr og mineraler, sendte materiale til naturhistoriske samlinger i blandt andet K\u00f8benhavn, Stockholm og Oslo og bidrog til videnskabelige unders\u00f8gelser af Vestindiens natur.<\/p>\n<p>Hans botaniske og zoologiske arbejde fik varig betydning. Flere af hans indsamlinger blev brugt i videnskabelige afhandlinger, og Riises navn blev knyttet til naturhistorien gennem arter, der blev navngivet efter ham. Blandt andet b\u00e6rer den tropiske fisk Corynopoma riisei hans navn. Det fort\u00e6ller noget v\u00e6sentligt om ham: Han var ikke kun optaget af at skabe produkter. Han ville forst\u00e5 den verden, han levede i.<\/p>\n<p>Den nysgerrighed fulgte ham ogs\u00e5 hjem til Danmark. Da han i sit livs efter\u00e5r bosatte sig p\u00e5 Frederiksberg, k\u00f8bte han Villa St. Thomas \u2013 opkaldt efter \u00f8en, hvor han havde skabt sit livsv\u00e6rk. Haven omkring villaen blev fyldt med sj\u00e6ldne planter, drivhus, bassin og latinske planteskilte. Her fortsatte hans interesse for botanikken, og haven blev i sig selv et lille vestindisk ekko midt i K\u00f8benhavn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>H\u00e6der og indflydelse<\/strong><br \/>Riise opn\u00e5ede ogs\u00e5 betydelig anseelse i sin samtid. P\u00e5 St. Thomas bekl\u00e6dte han flere h\u00e6dersposter og var blandt andet direkt\u00f8r for Nationalbanken p\u00e5 \u00f8en. Han blev Ridder af Dannebrog i 1860, Justitsr\u00e5d i 1867 og modtog den svenske Vasaorden i 1873. Efter at have doneret midler til opf\u00f8relsen af fire skolebygninger p\u00e5 St. Thomas blev han udn\u00e6vnt til Etatsr\u00e5d. Hans virke rakte dermed langt ud over apotekets mure. Han var en mand, der satte aftryk p\u00e5 b\u00e5de erhvervsliv, videnskab og lokalsamfund.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a5b2214 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-top elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a5b2214\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:5.5,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_affectedRange&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;end&quot;:100}},&quot;background_motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile_extra&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0fd91a4\" data-id=\"0fd91a4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d086cf animated-fast elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0d086cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Familien f\u00f8rte arven videre<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de61314 animated-fast elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"de61314\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Familien spillede ogs\u00e5 en central rolle i historien. I 1842 giftede Albert Heinrich Riise sig med Henriette Marie Worm i Frederiksted p\u00e5 St. Croix, og sammen fik de 13 b\u00f8rn. S\u00e6rligt s\u00f8nnerne Karl og Valdemar f\u00f8rte arven videre. I 1878 overtog de St. Thomas Apothecary Hall i f\u00e6llesskab, inden virksomheden senere overgik til Valdemar alene. Dermed blev Riises livsv\u00e6rk ikke blot bevaret, men videreudviklet af n\u00e6ste generation.<\/p>\n<p>I 1888 modtog Karl og Valdemar Riise p\u00e5 firmaets vegne en medalje ved Den Nordiske Industri-, Landbrugs- og Kunstudstilling i K\u00f8benhavn \u2013 seks \u00e5r efter faderens d\u00f8d. Udstillingen viste blandt andet produkter fra Dansk Vestindien, og Riise-husets bidrag omfattede b\u00e5de farmaceutiske produkter og den spiritus, der havde gjort navnet kendt.<\/p>\n<p>Det var ogs\u00e5 med s\u00f8nnerne ved roret, at Old St. Croix Rum i 1893 modtog en guldmedalje p\u00e5 verdensudstillingen i Chicago.
