    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members highlight a fruity, ester-driven profile with woody spice—pineapple on the nose, banana and barrel tones on the palate. Several note good ABV balance for 64.1%, with chocolate and anise flashes and a long finish. While some find it rustic with slightly rough edges, the ex‑brandy cask character feels rounded. A limited South African release (381 bottles) that early reviewers are excited to explore.

    #5733 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. Yet another nice bottling they were hiding under the desk and you had to ask for :-) Also fruity, medium intense with nice wood and ABV balance. There are some nice chocolate and anise notes in the profile.

    Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live Paris en 2025. Un nez végétal et boisé, fruité (ananas) et esterisé avec pas mal d’épices un peu rustiques. La bouche est vive, rustique, boisée, pimentée avec du végétal et des herbes sèches. La finale est assez longue mais, comme l’ensemble de ce rhum, un peu mal dégrossie. Il faut ajouter que sur ce plan Mhoba s’est beaucoup amélioré ces derniers temps.

    On est chez mhoba, donc c'est pas très fin. On prend la valise d'esters pur jus de canne et on enfonce la porte. Celui ci est arrondi pour un brandy cask. Un ensemble sympa mais qui ne m'a pas convaincu plus que ça. A regouter plus posément.

    « Premières impressions dégustation whisky live 2025, il faudra une deuxième dégustation au calme pour vraiment valider ou faire évoluer le commentaire et la note » Un embouteille moins chargé en Ester avec plus de rondeur
