"A unique Mhoba thanks to its ageing in local wood, which gives it exceptional aromas. The nose offers real meaty notes: meat, bacon, smoky and roasted notes make us think of a Sunday barbecue. The woody notes are followed by esters for funkiness, sugar cane for vegetation and banana and dried fruit for fruitiness. An atypical profile that comes across quite well. On the palate, dark, empyreumatic notes take center stage. Esters, spices, dried fruits and salt share the little space on the palate crushed by the improvised barbecue. At the crossroads of funk, barbecue, heaviness and fermentation, this is a highly original profile. The finish, of decent length, leaves a sensation of burnt wood and smoky notes. Floral and sugarcane notes counterbalance the empyreumatic warmth. A rum to enjoy with a barbecue, of course."

"Mhoba ist schon nicht schlecht, dieser hier ist ganz ok, gibt aber weitaus bessere. Die Nase ist überwiegend holzig aber auch etwas rauchig. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls viel Holz, sehr trocken, intensiv und rauchig dieser Rum. Alkohol gut eingebunden."

"Now I understand the name of the rum. It has a lot of influence from smoky aromas, campfires, probably from a very heavily toasted barrel. The DNA of Mhoba is still recognizable, but it doesn't meet my taste."
