How does this rum taste?
Funky, fruity Mhoba with creamy power
If you like intense Jamaican-style funk or other Mhoba bottlings, this is a great pick: same estery power, but with an extra creamy, chocolatey side that many find addictive.
Those sensitive to high ABV, newcomers to funky agricole-style profiles, or drinkers wanting a soft, sweet, low-strength sipper.

Perfect, the taste reminds me of 10Yr Jamaica
First of all, die Mhoba die immer so hoch gelobt bzw. gut bewertet sind, fand ich gar nicht so gut. Komischerweise sagt mir die Abfüllung mehr zu. Meines Erachtens ist dieser zu unterbewertet oder ich habe doch einfach einen eigenartigen Geschmackt ;-)
#4619 17.02.2024 Relaxing with a few rums after training on my bike after a longer break. Thanks to Roberto for the samples. Nose Intense, fruity, vegetal, light roasted wood, light sugarcane, faint smoke. Palate Intense, light roasted wood, fruity, ester, light caramel, sugarcane, light vegetal, faint rubber. Finish Intense, long and warm, banana, roasted wood, ester. A really nice rum at a good price tag. Draws really nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some medicinal and faint leather notes.
