    "Beautiful Mhoba with a complex nose. Intense sweetness on the palate. Something artificial accompanies it all the time. Perfume and other aromas. Definitely special but delicious. I like it very much. Top."

    "The smell is quite a game changer. For a while I smelled a hint of Jamaica thanks to the pineapple, then bourbon and coconut ala Foursquare. What does Mhoba actually taste like after the bourbon? Well like Mhoba after bourbon 😃. I'm having a hard time describing the taste, but it's definitely goodness."

    "I recommend letting it air out for a while. Apart from the fact that the typical mhoba esters will start pouring through the room, it will mellow the aroma and taste beautifully. A wonderful bourbon aroma and flavor will emerge, in this bottling complemented by cocoa notes. At times the coconuttiness reminds me of an older bottling of NewYarmouth. I'd also highlight the delicious fruit flavor, which is very nice in the body of this bottling."
