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.
Nez 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
