Golden Like Amber – As Delicate As Dessert Wine
A golden taste experience – in a class of its own.
Old St. Croix XO Reserve
Ambre d`Or
42% vol.
“Ambre d’Or” means “golden amber” – a nod to both the radiant hue and the luxurious quality of this exclusive blend. The name also honors the French tradition of crafting exquisite, sweet wines. XO Reserve Ambre d’Or is aged in oak casks that once held rich dessert wines. As the blend matures, it absorbs the deep, layered nuances from the casks, developing a sweetness, depth, and complexity that only time – and these very special barrels – can bring.

Warm, Aromatic and Seductive
Ambre d’Or is inspired by the original recipes of Albert Heinrich Riise and crafted from hand-selected, extra-aged, double-distilled casks from renowned distilleries in the West Indies and Central America. The style is warm, aromatic, and seductive – the perfect choice for those who appreciate a soft, sweet, and character-rich taste experience.
Color like Caribbean Amber
Caribbean amber is treasured for its remarkable clarity and beauty. Like the amber found in Scandinavia, it is fossilized tree resin – but Caribbean amber is often even more transparent. Ambre d’Or, meaning “golden amber,” is a tribute to this unique quality.

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.
