#1705 18-12-2025 - Rate 9.0 I’m a huge fan of the Habitation Mhoba 2017. This is also a 4 year rum but distilled 4 years later the the Habitation edition. A bit lower ABV. Not the same as the Habitation but really good. I like the kick of the Habitation but also like the more subtle version. Nose of banana, fruit, ester and polish. Palate of ester, polish, citrus and mango. Long finish dominated by ester, tropical fruits and oak.
