"#4868 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, medium intense, fruity, light grass, faint caramel, faint leather, faint chocolate, light ester, light citrus. Palate Round, balanced, medium intense, fruity, light banana, medium dry, medium spicy, naturally sweet, light vegetal, faint floral, faint leather. Finish Medium to long, warm, faint wood, faint roasted, light chocolate, medium dry, faint caramel. Not the best of releases, but still drinkable and I think most people can actually enjoy this one."

"Notes issues du Whisky Live Paris 2024 - à revoir et approfondir. Ultra rond et peut être un peu trop pour moi. C'est très plaisant, ca casse un peu les codes de chez Mhoba, je ne sais pas si c'est une bonne ou une mauvaise chose :) J'ai bien aimé la canne encore présente, et le côté citron qui ressort."
