MHOBA’s Select Reserve French Cask is a youthful rum from South Africa that leans into an unusual balance of tropical fruit (notably papaya, banana, and melon), vanilla, woody spice, and solventy esters. The nose tends to “funky avec pas mal d'ester” (@Santo) with caramel and patisserie notes, while the palate shows off “süß und fruchtig im Mund, dann alkoholisch” (@Harald), giving way to spirited spice and a lingering finish. Some find it “tamed down mhoba” (@Righrum) and less wild than other releases, with the French oak pushing more sweetness, coconut, and light vegetal aspects through a fairly intense profile.

"Very pleasantly surprised by this Mhoba profile. Very good"
"Very tasty, great nose, very nice on the palate. The balance is perfect"
"This Mhoba offers us a lot of fruits (Banana / Coconut / Mango / Pineapple / Dry fruits) a huge greediness (Pastry brioche / Butterscotch / Chocolate / Fatty nuts) on sweet spices (Cinnamon / Vanilla / Pepper).We feel, under all these aromas the small side of sugar cane with vegetal (Hay / Green) as well as a beautiful freshness (Citrus / Ginger).fortunately we still have in the background the empyreumatic side of Mhoba (Solvent / Tar / Rubber).it is overall really good!"
"Po hodně dlouhé době se vracím k přechutnání kousku, od kterého jsem měl celou láhev. Jestli si dobře vzpomínám, tak jsem měl batch 1, 2 i 3 a všechny byly dost odlišné. Co Mhoba to zábavná africká haluz. Rum, co je třeba vyzkoušet. Možná až na Bushfire, který jsem moc nedával 😀 Edit: přechutnávam a je to pořád stejně divný i dobrý zároveň"
