RumX members love the funky, ester-rich nose with fresh sugarcane and tropical fruit. The palate turns woody with caramel, dark chocolate and a hint of leather, wrapped in spicy warmth. At 65% ABV, many find the alcohol well integrated; others enjoy it with a splash of water. A popular Mhoba with 147 community reviews and a limited run of 330 bottles that rewards a bold agricole taste.

Super rum with a long finish, which warms and is terribly mild for a strength of 65
First Tasting here: This one is the better of the two Mhoba I am just tasting. Creamy, fruity, complex, very well integrated alcohol... First thing when tasting was "hm, rotten apples", but never got why. Interesting. I has something it's Sibling does not have, which I attribute to the French Cask, and it improves the Rum. Very good. Second Tasting: still good, still better. Putting it on my wishlist...
Wow, a really great Mhoba here. The nose is definitely very woody, and traces of ester can also be detected. The palate is also quite woody, with light notes of caramel, agricole and leather. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Super.
After I tried the white overproof from the distillery and was thrilled I saw that this one was inside in the calendar of the Rum Club. So bottle opened and app opened. And what can I say. In the smell it reminded me strongly of a blend of Barbados (glue) and Jamaica (ester). In the taste then but dry with typical things like caramel and chocolate with a small touch of Agricole. So the distillery I will definitely keep an eye on really nice things that come out of South Africa
