Velier MHOBA FAQ Plastic
On the nose, it’s a vivid mix of fermented, fruity, and yogurty notes with banana and toasted aromas; the palate combines rich esters, buttery toast, and a unique, funky twist. Widely considered one of MHOBA’s best—complex, powerful, and highly recommended for flavor seekers.
Funky raspberry yogurt, buttery esters, bold complexity, long finish.

"Excellent mhoba,yogurt,vanilla,toasted,raspberry,funky,complex..a little treat."
"Rating confirmed from 5 months ago: 88 points.In the nose raspberry jam (and nicotine?). Hard to distinguish from a Clairin. On the palate, the South African seems round, deep and powerful, that's how it should be. Fine stuff, awesome shit - keep it up, Mhoba! 👏"
"24.02.2024 Great tasting event at Whisky Watcher with food and lots of bottles. Retasting and I still like it a lot. --------------------- After resting 15+ minutes this rum starts to release a lot of flavours in the glass. In order to release even more I added a few drops of water. A very nice cooperation with Velier and a very good final result. Fruity with smoky wood, varnish and clear Agricole notes. There is a nice hint of chocolate, anise and floral notes as well. Getting the bottle is almost impossible and the price went through the roof. If you get the chance give it a go."
"Second tasting: very good Jamaica Funk from Africa ( 1)Unusual nose, even for Mhoba: very fruity, fermented at the same time and many other flavors in a previously unknown combination to me... I like excellent.The palate can unfortunately not quite keep up and the aftertaste is relatively short only the fermented fruit and the butter note remain very long.Great new experience and for the output price top price performance! Meanwhile, unfortunately, much too expensive, if you can get at all."
