About the product
Non Plus Ultra Ambre d'Or Excellence is part of A.H. Riise's exclusive Non Plus Ultra series. The name "Non Plus Ultra" can be translated as "nothing further beyond" and signals the series' position among the house's most luxurious bottlings.
Ambre d'Or Excellence stands out with its particularly smooth, fruity, and sweet profile. Selected casks and careful blending create a complex spirit drink where ripe fruit meets notes of honey, vanilla, caramel, and spices.
The result is an elegant and rich spirit with an almost dessert-like character, yet with sufficient complexity and depth for slow enjoyment. The decorative decanter and exclusive presentation also make Ambre d'Or Excellence an obvious choice as a gift or for a collection.
About the area
The history of A.H. Riise is closely connected to the former Danish West Indies and especially St. Thomas. The Danish pharmacist Albert Heinrich Riise established himself on St. Thomas in the 19th century, and this historical connection forms the foundation for A.H. Riise's story and identity today.
The name Old St. Croix refers to the Caribbean island of St. Croix, which, together with St. Thomas and St. John, made up the Danish West Indies. The area's history of sugarcane and rum production therefore plays a central role in the inspiration behind A.H. Riise's modern spirit drinks.
