Old St. Croix Royal Danish Navy
Navy Frogman
60% vol.
Old St. Croix Royal Danish Navy - Frogman was created as a tribute to the Danish Frogman Corps – an elite unit whose courage and strength help secure the safety we often take for granted. With every sip, you support the veteran organization Conventus Ranae (Latin for “a gathering of frogs”) – a community that fosters camaraderie among active and former frogmen. By the end of 2024, sales had generated more than €181,000 for this important cause.
TASTING NOTES
Nose
Despite the high alcohol volume, it is a rather light nose, dominated by balsamic glaze and mocca with orange zest on top and a hint of toast.
Taste
The alcohol is more present on the palate but in a nice and integrated way, where the notes from the nose all re-appear as well as pineapple and coconut.
Finish
Very creamy with notes of dark chocolate and mocca.
Color
Golden red.

Frogman Special Forces
The Frogman Corps is the Danish equivalent of the American Navy Seals. When the frogmen end their active service, they can become members of the veteran association Conventus Ranae, which means a gathering of frogs. Here they can attend to their wounds, whether physical or mental, among peers. In recent years, A.H. Riise has collaborated with Conventus Ranae. Among other things, this has led to the launch of the famous A.H. Riise “Danish Navy Frogman” and, in 2017, the exceptional “Royal Danish Navy Frogman 60” was launched to mark the Frogman Corps’ 60th anniversary.
The Frogman Corps -
An elite unit for the few
Although the Danish Frogman Corps has existed since 1957, only a select few have completed the demanding training – among them King Frederik X of Denmark, who joined the elite unit under the Royal Danish Navy in 1995 as Crown Prince.

Navy Strength
Throughout history, spirits and seafaring have gone hand in hand—along with a fair share of trickery and dilution. To ensure quality, sailors came up with a simple test: they poured the spirit onto gunpowder and lit it.
