    Can you make oil from berries? At any rate, this is the taste of Kirsch's Mhoba, finely balanced with a somehow high-quality solvent. Special, different from the typical Mhoba flavor range, but just as good. Update 2024-03-03: Have the rum in the glass again today while bottling for a split and simply have to rate it highly, because the alcohol is basically imperceptible on the nose and is entirely in the service of flavor transport on the palate. How can a rum that has been aged for less than five years be so good! Great art.

    After all the positive reviews, I cross-tasted this Mhoba against my reference from HV 2017. For me, this is an atypical Mhoba and falls well short of the HV. I miss the classic aromas and complexity here. This is truly a very good rum, but not a real Mhoba for me

    And another Mhoba, the 4th in 4 days. Matured in a Woodfort barrel and the barrel does indeed have a clear influence. Nose: Bourbon! is my first impression, followed by a pleasant, woody spiciness. A fine tobacco-smoky note and a hint of marzipan overlay this. This is followed by a buttery toffee-caramel sweetness. Now the fruits also come into their own, ripe banana, papaya and tart passion fruit with lemon. A deep draught brings out the vinegar. A beautiful blend of the classic Mhoba profile and intense bourbon. 8.5 Palate: strong, woody and spicy. Here, too, I find the bourbon influence clear. Astringent and bitter at the beginning, then briefly marzipan, before light esters and then finally sweet and sour passion fruit and lemon come through. A slight tobacco note at the end. Nice flavor curve, a little too much bourbon. But otherwise good. 8.2

    Very delicious, fruity rum🤤It reminds me also on a Hampden with a nice varity of berries in the background. The Alcohol is integrated well and the cask is perfect balance with the rum it self. You can still get this rum at a good price.
