MHOBA American Oak Aged Rum

Estery fruit, vanilla and oak on the nose, gentle sweet spice palate.

Nose bursts with esters, vanilla, and tropical fruit; palate brings sweet vanilla, young wood, and mild spice. Community consensus: a distinctive, aroma-driven rum that impresses for its price and approachability.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Intensely fruity, estery nose
    • Vanilla and gentle spice palate
    • Exceptional value for the price

    Lively esters and sweet vanilla lead the way in Mhoba's American Oak Aged Rum, with a woody-spicy undertone that draws both whisky fans and rum newcomers. Tasters highlight an intensely fruity, complex nose—“insane for the price”—while the palate favors gentle sweetness, young oak, and balanced spice. Youthful yet approachable, it's a standout value in its range. Worth a sip for those after bold aroma and easy sipping.

    "Odeur boisée et terreuse suivie de notes fruitées. Première impression en bouche sucrée et vanillée. Puis plus sèche, boisée et piquante. De la puissance et un ensemble qui ne ressemble à rien que je connaisse. Très agréablement surpris."

    "The nose is a pure delight. A blend of Jamaican crossed with Foursquare and mhoba high ester, wow.the palate on the other hand is a little disappointing compared to the nose because we lose a lot of aroma between the two.overall the value for money remains very good, a good surprise!"
