"#4869 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, light wood, raisin, light caramel, light vegetal, light pineapple, faint earthy, light citrus, light ester. Palate Round, light, fresh, medium intense, light ester, fruity, light citrus, faint pineapple, faint caramel, light wood, faint smoke. Finish Medium long, fresh, light ester, light wood, fruits, light citrus, faint grass, faint leather. Another easy drinkable release that I think most would be able to drink once rested."
"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 Ă dâautres rhums de la gamme. Le nez propose une trame mĂ©dicinale, beurrĂ©e, bien Ă©picĂ©e (piment) et vĂ©gĂ©tale sur le sous-bois et les champignons. On a Ă©galement des effluves dâananas mĂ»r, du caramel et un boisĂ© lĂ©ger. Le profil est prenant et captivant pour les narines. La bouche est agrĂ©able, on retrouve les fruits tropicaux mĂ»rs et les agrumes, mais aussi le cĂŽtĂ© mĂ©dicinal, fermentĂ©, beurrĂ© et esterisĂ© du profil sud-africain. Le canne Ă sucre lĂ©gĂšrement confite rencontre les Ă©pices (cardamome), le boisĂ© et le fumĂ© pour construire un rhum rond et Ă©quilibrĂ©. Lâalcool est bien intĂ©grĂ©. La finale est plutĂŽt courte mais ne manque pas de charme et dâarĂŽmes entre ses notes douces et mielleuses, ses agrumes, son boisĂ© Ă©picĂ©, son cuir animal et ses notes mĂ©dicinales, herbacĂ©es, caoutchouteuses et plastiques. La finale est intense mais trop Ă©phĂ©mĂšre hĂ©las. Il nâen reste pas moins un bon rhum qui jouit dâun bel Ă©quilibre entre arĂŽmes, structure et plaisir."
"Deutliche fruchtige Ester, Vanillin, Holz. Nicht ganz so rund."
