Bien, voir trop équilibré et sage (manque peut-être un peu de folie pour un Mhoba) mais avec un minimum de puissance pour ne pas s'ennuyer. Ce Mhoba nous offre énormément de fruits (Banane / Coco / Mangue / Ananas / Fruits sec) une énorme gourmandise (Pâtissier brioche / Caramel au beurre / Chocolat / Noix grasse) sur des épices douces (Cannelle / Vanille / Poivre).On sent, sous tout ces arômes le petit côté canne a sucre avec du végétale (Foin / Vert) ainsi qu'une belle fraîcheur (Agrumes / Gingembre).Forte heureusement on a quand même en fond le côté empyreumatique de chez Mhoba (Solvant / Goudron / Caoutchouc). C'est dans l'ensemble vraiment très bon !

Ein sehr intensiver und prickelnder Mhoba! Ich bin immer wieder von dieser Distille angenehm überrascht! Ich bin gespannt, wenn in den nächsten Jahren mal ein lang gereifter Mhoba zur Verfügung steht! Prost an das Happy E(a)ster Team! Bislang eine sehr gute Wahl

Blindverkostung, #Easterweeks Tag 3: Nase: würzig, holzig, Ester, Gummi und ein paar tropische Früchte. Irgendwie dreckig. Caroni??? Ich kann es nicht wirklich zuordnen. Aber er schmeckt nicht "alt", passt also nicht mit Caroni. Gaumen: ähnlich wie die Nase. Viel Alkohol, der aber nicht stört. Habe auf über 60 % getippt. Im Abgang buttrig, aber immer noch dreckig. Banane und Holz verbleiben. Kein Plan, gefällt mir aber.

#3 RumXHighE(a)ster weeks: Blind tasting: Fiji 🤔 5-10 years of aging approx. 55% low ester Unvaried/boring… Not a big fan of this one. As a simple sample it‘s a bit unvaried/boring. The finish is quite short and the alcohol is vanished without a trace. For me the 151 Strand is still the mhoba benchmark

Das 3. Sample (Mhoba) war leider nichts für mich. Wenig Komplexität - erinnert an Tres Hombres. Holz, Gewürze und etwas Süße. Am Gaumen leichte Esternoten. Die 65 ABV schmeckt man deutlich raus.

RumX Ester Kalender Tag 3, blind. Spritzige Ester, Lösungsmittel und etwas dominanter Alkohol. Hier haben wir keine Abfüllung aus Jamaika. Eine leichte Nussigkeit paart sich mit einer Holzigkeit, die ich fast nicht als Holz erkannt hätte. Ein recht bekanntes Aroma bleibt auf der Zunge zurück, das der ein oder andere eher nicht so mag und schlechte Assoziationen auslöst(genauer wird es nicht 😛). Mhoba ist und bleibt mit jeder Abfüllung spannend, auch wenn mir nicht alle Zusagen. French Cask gehört wohl dazu, die Art der Holzigkeit gefällt mir nicht so sehr. Trotzdem macht mir Mhoba immer Spaß, da es andersartig ist und die Abfüllungen kontinuierlich besser werden. Eine schöne Bereicherung der Rum-Welt!

auch hier an der Nase blumige Noten, gepaart mit einer buttrig-lieblichen (Frucht-Joghurt) Note, wie ich sie auch schon bei anderen MHOBAs feststellen konnte.

C: honey, bright yellow N: acetone, wood, spices (green pepper). Tropical fruit (papaya, green apples?) well hidden beneath the acetone/ nail polish. Some bitter chocolate later on. P: mildly sweet on the first sip, with ripe fruits upfront (papaya and apples, kiwi), little astringent. F: metallic, wood, slightly peppery. Guess: ABV-wise, i’d say in the 53% range. I am wildly guessing: maybe Fiji or some sort of Clarendon? Like 10y of aging. Reveal: very woody for being just 2yo! Not my favorite

Très bon rhum de la part de mhoba, bien exécuter et bien fini. La trame empyreumatique est bien présente au nez et en bouche, mais contrairement au high ester, plusieurs autres notes viennent se greffer pour donner un rhum très abouti.

Guter Rum, vor allem für sein Alter. Im Abgang eine recht intensive nussartige Note, die aus meiner Sicht nicht so gut zum Profil passt, daher gefallen mir andere Abfüllungen (z.B. HV, Plastic) besser…
