    How does this rum taste?

    RumX reviewers love its bold, high‑ester character and surprising value. Expect a fresh sugarcane nose with esters and hints of nail polish, opening with air.

    Dégustation rhum et chocolat du Rum Club Switzerland. Un nez à la limite de l’agressivité sur le vernis à bois. En bouche les fruits dominent fort heureusement. La finale elle aussi est plutôt sur les fruits. Un rhum agressif au nez mais la bouche est sexy et les vernis y sont discrets.

    I had bought the bottle when it came out by reading a couple of reviews. Personally I can't drink this. The nose is just about right but the mouth is impossible. But I understand that one can like it. We tasted this with two friends. One thought like me and the other one won a bottle that day because he liked it a lot. He brought me back a sample a few days ago so that I could taste it again a long time later and unfortunately the verdict is the same: for me it's like in wine, the wood chips infused in the barrel to make it old is definitely NO!

    I like Mhoba Rums, not easy to drink, but quite complex. Great mix of fruit esters, caramel sweetness, chocolate, herbal agricole notes and roasty coffee. Spicy pungency is also present, though when undiluted the alcohol can even be perceived as cutting. Overall, a solid rum for a good price. Mhoba rums are something special!

    no idea what went differently here compared to the first batch but this is pure garlic and truffle oil. absolutely not my thing and almost no longer edible mMn... too bad!
