    "So young and yet already grown up, with a fermented vanilla cane, mixed with pecan, all in a young barrel with small shavings of burnt wood."

    "Mein erster Mhoba, mal schauen. Tolle Nase. Ester, massig Milchschokolade. So riechen Rumkugeln. Viel rote Früchte. Im Mund dann würziger. Warm und kräftig. Erstaunlich, was man aus 2 Jahren Fassreife rausholen kann.😀 Toller Rum für Liebhaber von Rumkugeln. Eine positive Überraschung und Dank nach München für das Sample!😀😀😀"

    "A Mhoba that's still as compelling as ever, with improbable aromatic combinations such as fermented yoghurt with burnt sugar, a hint of salt, sugar cane and floral notes as well as ripe fruit. A rum that leaves no one indifferent. On the palate, the attack is lively and powerful. Sugar cane joins musk, mushroom and compost notes to form a block against spices and young, lightly roasted oak. Fruit is only sporadic on the palate. The alcohol is well integrated into this zany, initially puzzling profile. The finish, of decent length, returns to fermentation, some fruit, spicy wood, but above all with a hint of smoked meat like bacon that adds another dimension. A rum that offers a most original gustatory voyage."

    "For his young age already very complex and intense! He is on the dark sweet spicy side with light fruit parts... the Mhoba rum I always like better"
