"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."

"Different, i.e. closer to South Africa, and somewhat more pleasing than the Umganu (RX17378). Interesting, distinct smoky note, not unlike the smell of the surrounding wooden box. I can confirm the previous average rating of 79 points. Tendency upwards, scraping the 80 points, which means "very good"."

"My favorite of the series! Typical Mhoba profile with nice discreet bourbon notes, whereby the fruitiness has not been lost."

"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"
