    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the burst of tropical fruit and funky esters balanced by vanilla and woody spice in MHOBA’s Select Reserve French Cask. Despite just two years in wood, many note surprising complexity and a warm, woody-ester finish. At 65%, it shines neat or with a splash of water. A limited release of 1,200 bottles and a popular choice on RumX with 55 reviews and strong buyer confidence.

    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
