MHOBA Letaba 2025
Highly praised ester bomb with intense overripe fruit, menthol freshness and well-integrated 65% ABV. Considered the standout of the Mhoba trio with a long, rich and satisfying finish.
Seasoned enthusiasts who enjoy high-ester, funky pot still rums at full proof and want an intense, fruity Mhoba with strong ex‑bourbon spice influence.

How does this rum taste?
Explosive high‑ester Mhoba powerhouse
If you already enjoy Hampden-style funk or big Mhoba releases, this is a no-brainer: same ester fireworks, but with extra bourbon-cask spice and impressively tamed alcohol.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike funky, overripe, ester-forward profiles.

#5746 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.
Auto-translated« Premières impressions dégustation au whisky live 2025, il faudra une deuxième dégustation au calme pour vraiment valider ou faire évoluer le commentaire et la note » Très belle embouteillage chez Mhoba rappelant pour ma part l’embouteillage « FAQ Plastic 2017 » intense, au nez banane, exotiques, confits.
Auto-translatedMhoba Letaba – 65.1% Vieilli 42 mois dans un petit fût ex-bourbon américain (Woodford Reserve, 97 L). Une véritable bombe d’esters, plus fruitée et florale que les précédentes. Le plus expressif des trois, avec une finale longue, riche et gourmande. Clairement le meilleur du trio !
