    What an esterbomb from Mhoba! A lot of spice, solvents, nail polish (like UHU glue) in the nose(Very SPECIAL)! This is definitely not a beginner rum, also be patient… it has 75%! I‘ll give it some time and also add some drops of water…. maybe it opens up a bit more. Time will give this rum a lot 😎 i don‘t recommend it for cuba libre Nose: Solvents 🤪, fruity esters, funky, fresh, sugarcane, overripe fruits like banana, pineapple Mouth: Spicy, Solvents, astrigend, bitter, strong, funky, vegetal, olive, fruity Finish: short to medium long, dry astringend, bitter, caramel, vanilla, fresh, grass, herbal, young wood Update: I have this bottle now open for some months and it’s getting better and better drinkable/accessible.

    Wonderful High Ester Mhoba with lots of acetone and varnish. Well integrated alcohol!

    A very powerful and excellent rum, with a strong solvent aroma on the nose. On the palate, it gives way to esters, vanilla and chocolate. The alcohol is very well integrated, with the 75% appearing to be only 55%. A very good rum and very good value for money.

    Waaa... The more I drink Mhoba, the more I like this distillery and the frame that comes out of it... It is nicely fruity (Mango / Pineapple / Coconut / Red fruits) with a little woody that blends perfectly giving us some sweet spices as well as a nice sweetness (Pastry / Butter / Brioche / Cream). This greediness contrasts wonderfully with the big empyreumatic side of the distillery (Diesel / Rubber / Smoke / Copper / Tar ...). The vegetal of the white is also perfectly integrated in this juice by bringing us a certain freshness (Green / Hay / Lemon).in short it goes in all directions, it is super well done, I love it!
