The scientist
Aged rum casks
Only the finest drops from aged rum casks are used to create this ultimate blend from A.H. Rise. The spirit is matured in the best quality casks. The old casks used for the Non Plus Ultra, burn longer than usual, which means the mixture can penetrate deeper into wood that has never been in contact with alcohol.
The Spirits
Non Plus Ultra means “Nothing Further Beyond” in Latin. Legend has it that the phrase was engraved on the pillars of Hercules as a warning to mark the boundary between the known and unknown worlds in the strait of Gibraltar.
RUM
Carefully blended, from only the finest casks available and matured with love.
