#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.
