How does this rum taste?
Most love its funky power, cane character and complexity; critics find the 65% “too much” and tiring. Consensus: a highly praised ester bomb for enthusiasts, not a casual sipper.
If you enjoy Hampden-style ester bombs or overproof agricoles, this MHOBA will likely hit the spot—just be ready for serious strength and a very characterful profile.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike solventy, funky aromas and intensely flavorful overproof white rums.

Nez très puissant type jamaïcain et un second nez sur la canne à sucre. Bouche extrêmement puissante qui, une fois de pic de douleur passé, laisse place à une explosion de pâtisserie, pâte brisée et amande. Franchement une révélation !
Edit: So now, how could it be otherwise, I've tried it as a mixer for a CubaLibre. It's really something different in the glass. I think it can really do something here. Simply delicious. But the points remain the same despite everything, no correction really necessary for me. Mhoba Night Was the last of the 6 different Mhoba. But the tastiest for me today.

Mhoba High Ester, ich liebe diese Esterbomben. Natürlich hat man den Ester direkt in der Nase und die tropischen Früchten kommen natürlich auch dazu. Wie gesagt, ist sowas mit Cola echt ein super Sommergetränk. Am Gaumen kann mann dann zusätzlich noch Zuckerrohr schmecken.
