MHOBA KIGELIA Foundations 2024
Highly praised as a powerful yet relatively rounded Mhoba: big esters, overripe banana, leather and roasted wood with a long, dry, pastry-like finish and good bourbon-cask influence.
Fans of high-ester, woody cane-juice rums who enjoy dry, powerful profiles and already appreciate the distinctive Mhoba style or Jamaican-style esters.

How does this rum taste?
Bold, woody ester bomb
If you already enjoy bold Mhoba or Jamaican-style funk, this adds bourbon-cask roundness and pastry notes while staying dry and intense—great when you want power with some extra comfort.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV or alcohol heat, and drinkers who prefer soft, sweet, easy-going rums over dry, phenolic and slightly rustic profiles.

Für einen Mhoba schön rund, nicht so viele Ester, mehr Marzipan, Vanille, Bourbon.
Notes from Whisky Live Paris 2024 - to be reviewed and explored further. Ultra-round and perhaps a little too round for me. It's very pleasant, a bit of a break from the Mhoba codes, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing :) I liked the cane, which is still present, and the lemony aspect that stands out.
Auto-translatedNez relativement discret sur ce rhum. D'abord vanillé et caramélisé avant que quelques notes fruitées et esterisées ne fassent leur apparition. C'est beaucoup plus expressif en bouche où je suis très surpris par l'intensité d'abord puis par un goût puissant de banane écrasée qui reste en bouche très longtemps. Piquant, sec, chaud, cacaoté. Jolie influence du fût qui amène beaucoup de rondeur à ce rhum très puissant. Esters à la jamaïcaine. Étonnant.
Un peu sage pour un Mhoba
