Old St. Croix Ultra Premium
Non Plus Ultra Black Edition
42% vol.
Non Plus Ultra means “nothing further beyond” – a Latin phrase said to have been inscribed on the Pillars of Hercules, marking the edge of the known world. It’s also the name of our ultra-premium series of blends, where the boundaries of flavor and finesse are pushed to their limits. Old St. Croix Non Plus Ultra - Black Edition is the most intense expression in the series. Crafted from selected casks sourced from renowned distilleries in the Caribbean and Central America, this blend is matured in heavily charred bourbon barrels. The charring process caramelizes the oak’s natural sugars and unlocks deep, concentrated aromas. The result is a dark, velvety blend with rich body, warm glow, and remarkable balance.

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.
