MHOBA Select Release White Rum 2019
Most love the vivid fruit, cane and floral character with well-handled alcohol. Critics find it thin, short in the finish and quite vegetal or bitter. Consensus: a distinctive, solid white Mhoba.
Fans of funky, agricole-style whites and Jamaican-style high-ester noses who enjoy high-ABV, cane-forward rums neat or in powerful Daiquiris.

Gefällt mir wirklich gut dieser Mhoba. Erinnert mich entfernt an einen Clairin. Nase aber überwiegend (tropische) Früchte und nur leicht floral. Am Gaumen dann die volle pflanzlich/florale/grasige Dröhnen. Mir gefällts.
Nez classique Jamaïque mais à s’y méprendre… Apparement c’est aussi la marque de fabrique de Mhoba!! Bouche très végétale avec de l’amertume ! Finale amère
Mhoba's eccentric profile shines through here. Mushrooms, truffles, musk, sugar cane, notes of fermentation and decomposition, it's all there. Fortunately, the fruity side is there to remind us that this is a rum. The attack on the palate evolves under an atypical framework, bordered by buttery notes, thyme, floral and herbaceous notes, a hint of salt and pepper on a medicinal and fruity background. The alcohol is well integrated. The well-crafted finish brings us back to the vegetal and herbaceous framework, adorned with flowers, musk, spices (chili pepper) and leather with a certain bitterness. A fruity, honeyed veil reminds us that Mhoba is capable of finesse. A most zany profile, but very interesting to discover.
#4143 A fresh and fruity profile with a spicy warm touch on the palate. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass has some cane and licorice. Price to quality is very good.
