To be tasted more seriously with more time... But still a very fine product and a balance of aromas with the degree of alcohol.
A rum tasted at the WLP. Nose of glue/solvents with earth and fruit in the background. The palate is quite lively, with a violent, earthy woodiness, but soon evolves into sweetness, smoke, fat and licorice. The finish is long on licorice and wood, followed by tropical fruit. The empty glass is rich and complex, a very fine rum with great expressiveness.
A very aromatic Mhoba... I really like it. The mixture of funk (esters/pineapple) and spices with vegetable parts, some wood and honey sweetness fits very well. The alcohol is very well integrated. It is soft and creamy on the palate. Everything fits
Ich mag Mhoba. Inzwischen gibt’s ja so einige und ja, die sind alle sehr ähnlich. Hier geht’s also um die feinen Unterschiede. Hier also ein 2 Jahre Mhoba mit zusätzlich 18 Monaten in einem afrikanischen Brandy-Fass. Nase: Ester und Klebstoff, als wenn Jamaika im Glas ist. Ein guter Start! Süße von Ananasmarzipan, mit intensiv süß-saurer Kiwi, Maracuja und Zitrone. Bei kräftigerem Nasenzug kommt Essig hinzu. Ich meine, der Brandy hat ihn etwas milder und süßlicher werden lassen. Gefällt mir. 8,4 Gaumen: intensiv und aromatisch. Wieder Ester und Klebstoff und auch die Süße von Ananasmarzipan ist wieder da. Diesmal mischt sich noch reife Banane dazu. Hat eine leicht teigige Konsistenz und erinnert ein wenig an Brioche und Früchtebrot. Auch ist er holzig-würzig, mit Vanille und Muskat und süßer, weicher Lakritze. Sehr lecker. 8,4 Die durchschnittliche Benotung bei 7,8 finde ich nicht passend, denn er ist schön kompakt, mit angenehmen Estern und einer unaufdringlichen Süße und dazu mit guten ABV…
