“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.”
