Old St. Croix Royal Danish Navy The Original 70 cl. 40%
Premium Aged Spirit Drink
Old St. Croix Royal Danish Navy – The Original Navy
40% vol.
When Albert Heinrich Riise established his production in the Danish West Indies in 1838, the Danish Navy was among his first regular customers. Life at sea was tough, and a daily ration of spirits was a welcome encouragement. Officers received their ration neat – while the sailors got theirs diluted with water. This was called grog. Old St. Croix Royal Danish Navy – Navy 40% is a modern interpretation of the original navy spirit that Riise supplied to the fleet.
Tasting notes are not an ingredient list, but a subjective description of the flavor.
Nose
Rich aroma of liquorice, orange peel, coconut, papaya, eucalyptus, and mint. A hint of reduced balsamic and black tea.
Taste
Full-bodied with a wonderful balance of citrus, fresh green notes of eucalyptus and mint, alongside deeper notes of liquorice and reduced balsamic.
Finish
Lingering with notes of mocha and dark chocolate with orange.
Comment
When you taste it, you’ll understand why the “stomach medicine” from Pharmacist Riise’s pharmacy was – and still is – so popular… Forget the fruit onboard – it’s all right here in this Navy Spirit Drink. Ship ahoy, Skipper Skrå!
