How does this rum taste?
Loved by RumX members for its bold high‑ester funk and surprising balance. Raspberry‑yogurt and overripe banana lead the nose with varnish notes; the palate is intense yet buttery and toasted, shading into smoky wood. Despite 64.3%, many report well‑integrated alcohol. Popular with 137 reviews and limited to 1,445 bottles, it opens beautifully after a rest or a splash of water.

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.
