Naval Cadet

Old St. Croix Royal Danish Navy - Naval Cadet was created in collaboration with the Cadet Association of the Royal Danish Naval Academy – the world’s oldest naval officer school, founded in 1701. This blend honors the sailors who once helped keep the peace in the Danish West Indies, and the young cadets preparing for new missions across the seas. A portion of each sale goes to the Cadet Association’s work, which had raised over €34,000 by the end of 2024.

Saltwater, Tarred Rope and Tropical Fruit

Part of our Royal Danish Navy Collection, this well-balanced navy blend at 42% ABV is composed of carefully selected casks from renowned distilleries in the Caribbean and Central America. During maturation, our Master Distiller captured notes of saltwater, tarred rope, and tropical fruit – a flavor journey for adventurous cadets and anyone who feels at home at sea.

Daggers for cadets, sabres for officers

Since 1848, a uniform dagger M/1848 became mandatory and regulated for the Neval Cadet Corps. It has remained largely unchanged since 1848. The cadet dagger is worn in a black steath hung over the right shoulder. When a Neval Cadet is appointed Naval officer, the cadet dagger is replaced with a sabre.

Old St. Croix – Honoring the Past, embracing the future

With the name change from A.H. Riise to Old St. Croix, we’re taking one step back – to take two steps forward. With the new name, we’re reviving the original vision that inspired Albert Heinrich Riise more than 150 years ago, when he made Danish West Indian rum known far beyond the shores of the islands.
