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! 👏

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.

Hampden from Martinique. Tremendous complexity after 4 years and super integrated alcohol. Overripe fruit with undertones of agricole. Sour yogurt. Dry salted bacon on the finish.

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.

Probiert als 5cl Sample, beim eingießen zunächst ein Geruch nach Marzipan und Kunststoff ändert sich dies nach einiger Zeit hin zu Vergorenen Früchten, insb. Banane, leicht rauchig und metallisch und er wird an der Nase vor allem seinem Namen gerecht. Frisch eingegossen ne ordentliche Portion Kunststoff. Am Gaumen dann Schoklade, Fass, und eine interessante süße, die im Abgang dann von leicht bitterem Holz und Gewürzen überlagert wird. War mein erster Mhoba und der gefällt mir sehr gut.

Gotta say it..for me, it’s weirdly good..on the nose I sense banana flavored yogurt, then a combination of metallic and smoky note..the palate is even more funky, with a unorthodox mix of oranges, chocolate and a butter-y and peppery back palate! The finish is pretty dry, although kinda short. First Mhoba for me..and really makes me crave for tasting more of this distillery!

verkostet zusammen mit dem Habitation Velier und dem Glass Cask. Der FAQ kommt deutlich brachialer daher als der Velier, mit einer ausgeprägteren Äppelwoi-Vinegar-Note. Der Glass Cask ist hier sogar noch etwas intensiver als der FAQ. Beim FAQ kommt nach einiger Zeit noch eine schöne Anis-Plätzchen-Note hinzu. Am Gaumen ist der Velier etwas blumiger als die beiden Mitstreiter, die aber beide einen schönen, langen würzig-süssen Abgang mit sich bringen. Mein Favorit unter den dreien bleibt der Habitation Velier. Er ist nicht so intensiv, aber dafür am ausgewogensten/stimmigsten.

Rispetto all’ habitation velier al palato è più complesso ed ha un ottima ricchezza di sapori! Ti regala anche un piacevolissimo finale molto fruttato e dolce! Mhoba mi sta sorprendendo sempre di più!

Ein sehr spezieller Rum, aber ich mag ihn irgendwie! Schönes Zusammenspiel aus Lack, ein grüner Fruchtkorb und Ester.

Kommt im Vergleich zum French Cask insgesamt etwas deftiger daher, mit mehr Würze. Ansonsten dominieren hier überreife, vergorene Früchte. Auch ne tolle Abfüllung aber mir sagt der French Cask mehr zu.

Ein interessanter Rum. Am der Nase rote Früchte (Traube, Rotwein), vergorene Früchte, dezente Esternoten und junges Holz. Am Gaumen würziger, eine angenehme Süße, Röstaromen und Frucht. Abgang sehr mild, leichte Würze und Frucht.

Mein erster Mhoba und ich muss sagen, dass es schon speziell ist. Besonders die Nase mit den sehr intensiven Noten, welche schon etwas an abgelaufenen Joghurt erinnern (Sorry) sind Geschmackssache. Am Gaumen eine absolute Wucht. Ist auf jeden Fall eine Entdeckungsreise wert, aber leider qurde die Abfüllung vom Hype verschlungen. Danke an die RumX Community für die Möglichkeit den Rum über ein Sample probieren zu können.

Der erste Eindruck - Sauer. Nach gut 20 Minuten ist der saure Eindruck gewichen und reife Früchte, Schokolade und Würze kommen zum Vorschein. Der Geschmack bestätigt die ersten Eindrücke. Wer Zeit hat wird ihn mögen.

a little young? no no, a little rough and scratchy, not only the aging issue.

Mhoba ist und bleibt spannend. Gefühlt wird jede Abfüllung besser und ich kann es kaum erwarten, noch ältere Abfüllungen zu testen. Wahnsinnig fruchtig, aber im Gegensatz zum Frucht-Platzhirsch Jamaika weniger tropische als „kontinentale“ Früchte. Ein bisschen was von frischer Marmelade in der Nase, wirklich spannend. Am Gaumen dann mehr Würze, Holz und etwas rauchiges, dabei aber nichts besonders dominant, sondern recht harmonisch. Im Abgang verstärkt sich dieser Eindruck und es bleibt ein Hauch von Zuckerrohr übrig. Mhoba muss man probieren und sollte man auch weiterhin im Auge behalten!

Pour moi le meilleur mhoba à ce jour. Très atypique, hors norme même. Les esters élevés apportent un côté très truffé et terreux comme jamais mon palet n’avait pu goûté auparavant. Une très belle réussite pour ce rhum plutôt jeune. Ajouter à cela un alcool plutôt bien intégré et une belle longueur.

Mhoba extrem - nicht mein Favorit aus Südafrika, aber ein sehr aussergewöhnliches Geschmackserlebnis. Dem Rum ist das junge Alter anzumerken, dennoch bahnen sich auch frische grüne Aromen sowie eine schöne Zuckerrohrsüsse ihren Weg. Interessant.

On the nose a fermented red fruit compote with a slight sweetness...on the palate first a tart sweetness that changes to a pleasant light spiciness. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is then more Agricole with herbs and gentle toasted spice! My second best Mhoba so far... after the Velier, these rums have a future
