High-ester funk that opens with air: citrus and peach ride bourbon-cask caramel, with touches of wood and faint smoke; some reviewers note initial glue and a drier, astringent finish.

    Thanks a lot to Filip for the nice sample 🤙🏻🥃

    High Ester der fast an Hampden erinnert mit einer schönen Zitrus/Pfirsich-Note. Etwas trocken und adstringierend im Abgang.

    Zeigt in der Nase die typische MHOBA-Signatur mit frischem Zuckerrohr, Klebstoff, Ananas und etwas Rauch. Am Gaumen kräftig, erdig und leicht ölig, begleitet von Kräutern, Holz und einer subtilen Fruchtsüße. Der Alkohol bringt Druck, bleibt aber gut integriert. Der Abgang ist trocken, würzig und leicht mineralisch. Ein charaktervoller Rum mit unverkennbarer Herkunft, intensiv, ehrlich und ohne Kompromisse.

    Jak platí u kdečeho, tady to platí ještě víc. Nechte rum odpočnout ve skleničce. Potom se vám do ruky dostane velmi přijemné plnění od mhoby, které se fakt povedlo. Ve vůní trocha kanagonu smíchaného s karamelem. V chuti je toto všechno, navíc výrazně propsany sud po jim beamu. Kouř a dřevo. Já mám nakouřené věci rád. A ty technické taky, takže jsem zcela spokojen :-)
