A.H. RIISE NON PLUS ULTRA “Very Rare” is a masterpiece of excellent craftmanship. The spirit is matured in designer casks, and the barrels are superior in every aspect. Using old casks requires a lifetime of knowledge in the art of blending, and it is the result of excellent craftmanship from the trusted hands of our master blender. Every single stage of the process have been subject to minute control, leaving nothing left to chance — not the beautiful, faceted carafe, not the deep glow and certainly, and not the enjoyment you will experience when you try your first taste. It is truly world class, and once you have tasted it, you will wish for nothing else. "NON PLUS ULTRA" means ‘nothing further beyond’ in Latin. It is an expression said to have been used by Charles V, who was both Roman Emperor and the King of Spain. The legend also states that it was engraved on the Pillars of Hercules, as a warning to mark the boundary between the known and unknown world in the Strait of Gibraltar. A.H. RIISE NON PLUS ULTRA “Very Rare” is likewise found on the border between the known and unknown; only the very best drops from aged rum barrels are used to create this ultimate spirit drink. The A.H. RIISE NON PLUS ULTRA “Very Rare” is part of the Non Plus Ultra trinity of which we are very proud. Be sure to also try its two ‘brothers’, NON PLUS ULTRA “Black Edition” and NON PLUS ULTRA “Ambre d'Or Excellence”.
