Tres joli dans le style!
I teresting Mhoba release with a great balance of fruit, esters, caramel, spiciness and a medicinal, mentholated finish. Really not bad and very similar/equivalent to the older (better rated) bottlings. the profile is very recognizable and just wears off a bit, which I think explains the mediocre ratings. I find it delicious.
Un jeune Mhoba dynamique qui se laisse facilement approcher par rapport à d’autres rhums de la gamme. Le nez propose une trame médicinale, beurrée, bien épicée (piment) et végétale sur le sous-bois et les champignons. On a également des effluves d’ananas mûr, du caramel et un boisé léger. Le profil est prenant et captivant pour les narines. La bouche est agréable, on retrouve les fruits tropicaux mûrs et les agrumes, mais aussi le côté médicinal, fermenté, beurré et esterisé du profil sud-africain. Le canne à sucre légèrement confite rencontre les épices (cardamome), le boisé et le fumé pour construire un rhum rond et équilibré. L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale est plutôt courte mais ne manque pas de charme et d’arômes entre ses notes douces et mielleuses, ses agrumes, son boisé épicé, son cuir animal et ses notes médicinales, herbacées, caoutchouteuses et plastiques. La finale est intense mais trop éphémère hélas. Il n’en reste pas moins un bon rhum qui jouit d’un bel équilibre entre arômes, structure et plaisir.
Deutliche fruchtige Ester, Vanillin, Holz. Nicht ganz so rund.
