    How does this rum taste?

    • Highly aromatic, complex profile
    • Distinctive funky, fruity character
    • Great value for the adventurous

    Strand 101 greets you with a bold punch of esters, glue, and ripe fruit—echoes of both high-ester Jamaican and classic agricole rums. RumX tasters highlight its evolving character: funky and meaty on the nose, then buttery, fruity, and rounded once sipped. This rum intrigues those seeking powerful, unique profiles with a vegetal and savoury edge. Worth a sip for the adventurous palate or fans of intense, characterful spirits.

    "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."

    "Le Mhoba standard 101 est un rhum surprenant. Par plusieurs aspects il ferait penser à un Jamaïquain. Le nez est dominé par les esters, solvants et une curieuse odeur carnée. En bouche les esters dominent aussi. La finale est moyenne à longue et relativement complexe."
