MHOBA Mhoba Rum JB 1 (Warehouse #1) 2019
Highly praised characterful Mhoba: intense esters, bourbon oak and citrus fruit with a long, dry finish. Demands some resting time, then rewards with complex, honest sugarcane character.
Fans of high-ester Jamaican-style funk and bourbon-cask influence who enjoy dry, powerful, gluey-citrus profiles and like to let their rum open up in the glass.

How does this rum taste?
Bold high-ester Mhoba with bourbon citrus
If you like Hampden-style esters and bourbon-cask notes, this Mhoba is a great next step: intense at first, but once rested it turns into a complex citrus-fruity sipper.
Beginners, those sensitive to nearly 60% ABV, or drinkers who dislike ester-heavy, slightly astringent and citrus-forward dry rums.

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.
Auto-translatedZeigt 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 :-)
