MHOBA Select Reserve Glass Cask Rum 2019
Highly praised by RumX users for its powerful, funky cane character, roasted oak and warm finish. Intense but mostly well‑integrated alcohol makes it a rewarding, characterful sipper.
Fans of funky, high-ABV cane juice rums who enjoy overripe fruit, esters and strong oak, and don’t mind a dry, powerful profile that shines neat or slightly diluted.

#4740 07.06.2024 Found a nice secluded spot in this moving dune to enjoy a few samples. Nose Intense, fresh, wood, light smoke, sugarcane, light coconut, faint honey, banana. Palate Intense, wood, light tannins, fruity, light banana, light coconut, roasted. Finish Long and warm, wood, roasted, faint honey, tannins, light fruits, dry.
Really a good bottling from Mhoba with a really good Price per value rating. Awesome pairing of esters with a lot of oak with some hints yellow fruits and licorice. The alcohol in integrated very well.
Great powerful but pleasant taste, where you feel the 60%. Good flavors of roasted nuts, coffee and vanilla 💪🏻
Toller Rum. In der Nase kommen einem direkt die (überreifen) Früchte entgegen. Außerdem kommen einem Holz, Vanille und Ester entgegen. Am Gaumen bleibt er sehr fruchtig. Ester ist gut erkennbar, außerdem holzig und würzig.
