Old St. Croix XO Reserve
175 Years Anniversary
42% vol.
In 2013, we marked 175 years since Danish pharmacist Albert Heinrich Riise first opened his Apothecary Hall on Saint Thomas in the Danish West Indies. His passion for distillation and love for the raw materials of the Caribbean laid the foundation for what would become the Old St. Croix brand. To honor this historic milestone, our Master Distiller has crafted an extraordinary anniversary blend – one that respects tradition while raising the bar for quality.

This special anniversary edition is aged in a unique combination of PX and Oloroso sherry casks, imparting rich, dark depth, layered complexity, and a touch of sweetness. The result is a spirit experience made to elevate any meaningful moment.
The Sugar Mills of St. Croix
The sugar mills were symbols of the industry that dominated St. Croix in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, many stand as ruins, but when production was at its peak, there were more than 200 sugar mills on the island.

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.
