    How does this rum taste?

    • Intense ester profile appreciated
    • Unique, bold flavors
    • Limited edition rarity

    The MHOBA Pot Stilled High Ester Rum, a limited edition with only 91 bottles, offers a unique tasting experience. Distilled from sugarcane juice in 2019 at 65.6% ABV, it presents an intense aroma profile featuring sugarcane, overripe fruit, and tropical esters. The taste combines funky, intense flavors with notes of polish and marzipan, reminiscent of high ester rums. While some find its potency appealing, others may find the ester presence overwhelming, akin to a "South African hogo bomb". This rum is not for the faint-hearted but delivers a powerful ester punch for those seeking bold flavors. It draws comparisons to Jamaican high ester rums, offering a similarly robust experience to enthusiasts.

    "The name says it all. High Ester. For me, a little over here but that is a matter of taste."

    "Bílé rumy mě nepřestanou překvapovat. Začalo to long pondem od habitation velieru a pokračuje to tady. Krasně kulatá smetaná vůně s nádechem kanagonu. Po napití se dostaví exploze chutí která rozvibruje celá ústa a dlouze dlouze odchazí. Paráda"
