    27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This was another of my hight lights at the WL 2026. A nice ester bomb with a lot of fruit and floral notes. ABV and wood really well integrated with some nice spicy notes.

    A rum tasted at Whisky Live Paris in 2025. A vegetal and woody nose, fruity (very ripe pineapple) and estery, with a good deal of spice softened by the bourbon cask. The palate is lively, woody with fruit, vegetal, sweetness and dried herbs. The finish, unlike the Skukuza and Letaba, is well-balanced and tasty. My favorite of the three, and proof that Mhoba has improved a lot in recent times.

    « Premières impressions dégustation au whisky live 2025 » Très belle embouteillage chez Mhoba rappelant pour ma part l’embouteillage « FAQ Plastic 2017 » chargé en Ester mais banane au nez.
