“Typical solid Mhoba, but on the palate just too young and impetuous and a little too spicy for me. Does a one-year-old rum, even if it is wonderfully designed and comes from a single cask, really have to cost more than EUR 100 these days? 🙄”

“So, as I already wrote on the WR10, I'm not that experienced with Mhoba yet and it doesn't seem to be my cup of tea. It's sometimes too tiring for me. Lots of esters and solvents, which is great of course, but it's quite complex. Slight sweetness, some wood with a fruit basket. I found the cherry bottling better in direct comparison.”
