Matured in oak barrels
Old St. Croix XO Reserve – Thin Blue Line is crafted from selected casks sourced from renowned distilleries in the Caribbean and Central America. It’s further matured in oak barrels, which add depth, roundness, and subtle complexity to the flavor. The result is a full-bodied, elegant spirit with distinct cask influence and a long, silky finish.

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.
