Old St. Croix Ultra Premium
Non Plus Ultra Ambre d’Or Excellence
42% vol.
Non Plus Ultra means “nothing further beyond” – a Latin phrase said to have marked the boundary between the known and the unknown. This ultra-premium series is crafted for connoisseurs in search of the sublime. Old St. Croix Non Plus Ultra - Ambre d’Or Excellence is the most elegant expression in the series – named for its amber-golden glow and inspired by the French tradition of sweet dessert wines. The blend is aged in oak casks that once held those very wines, which impart a smooth sweetness and layer upon layer of soft complexity.

Taste
The taste of the ripe and aromatic pickled plums dominates the taste, but all the notes from the nose are present.

Old St. Croix –
A piece of Danish rum-history
150 years ago, A.H. Riise put Danish rum from the West Indies on the world map under the trademark “Old St. Croix”. The island of St. Croix – The Garden of the West Indies – was the center of cultivation of sugarcane and the production of sugar in the Danish West Indies from the early 1700s. The by-product molasses was used to make rum. To this day, the heart of our blends continues to be distilled on molasses.
