"very interesting and unusual rum. i can only advise everyone: the proof of the pudding is in the eating."

"Mhoba is one of those rums with an original, unique and surprising profile. This rum is no exception: notes on the nose of undergrowth and mushrooms (not available in flavors of the application?) of earth and vegetal, spices and tropical fruits that mix with the more medicated, phenolic and chemical flavors that this rum usually offers. On the palate, the rum completely changes its profile, moving towards something more fruity (cherry, grape, apple, banana and citrus among others) with a floral, spicy and vanilla touch. The finish is very long, turning to fruity, vegetal and spicy notes. Intense and subtle at the same time, aromatic, greedy, very round and of a great complexity, this rum is a frank success."

"Really funny, you can clearly identify the blended rums, with the punch of the high esters on one side and the caramel and wood from the glass cask. Maybe a bit unrefined, but definitely funny to drink"

"Wow, this is exciting stuff! In the nose it reminds me first of a Jamaican, quite with esters but not High-Ester full throttle. In the mouth then the opposite, here the rum plays piano on the tongue and presses all the keys at once. Funky, fruity, medicinal, well amplified by the high and also quite present alcohol. Fun, but also requires attention and calm. Again discovered an exciting corner of the rum world, which I like very much!"
