    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex ester notes
    • Rich layered palate
    • Unique red wine influence

    Dead Reckoning Rum Mhoba - South Africa is a cask strength rum with 56% ABV, distilled from sugar cane juice and aged for over two years. This limited release from MHOBA distillery features 377 bottles, offering a complex aroma of pineapple, esters, and caramel with undertones of funk. The palate is surprisingly multi-faceted, showcasing ester richness, red wine cask influence with woody and roasted notes. It delivers a bold finish of wood and citrus flavors. While some users find the estery and fruity profile appealing, others note it lacks the classic Mhoba robustness. Overall, this rum's layered complexity and sweet overtones garner mixed reviews, making it an intriguing option for enthusiasts.

    "Wieder einmal ein Mhoba im Glas. Finde diesen auch nicht wirklich überzeugend. Vom Gedächtnis heraus von meinen letzten Mhoba Crosstasting gibt es bessere. Hoffe die nächsten 3 Samples die im Zulauf sind, überzeugen mich wieder mehr. Er ist schon gut, mehr aber leider auch nicht."

    "Das Rotwein-Fass funktioniert für meinen Geschmack exzellent. Am Gaumen opulente Süsse voller Karamell, rote Früchte, Holz, Gewürze - angenehme Komplexität, trotz des jungen Alters schon mit angenehmer Ausgewogenheit. Sehr lecker, ohne banal zu werden. Toll."

    "Real unique taste with several flavours punching through vanilla, medicinal, fruit and ending with slight floral finish that lasts long. Liquorice comes through toward the end. Very smooth and easily drinkable."
