A surprisingly good rum where the ABV is very well integrated and basically just adds a warm tingle in your mouth. Very fruity on the nose and I like the wood smoke finish. I hope there will be more like this one in the future.

Mhoba mi ha davvero sorpreso! Non sapevo cosa aspettarmi ma è un ottimo agricole! Complimenti!

Grundsätzlich finde ich Mhoba sehr spannend. Hier die bisher wohl älteste Abfüllung (mit 4 Jahren 😉). Nase: am Anfang etwas beißender Alkohol, dann kommt er sehr fruchtig. Grüner Apfel, frische süße Zitrone mit einer leichten Pflaumen-Note. Erinnert mich an einen Weißwein oder sogar an Calvados. Etwas Honig und Sesam kommen hinzu. Wird immer runder und angenehmer. Gaumen: würzig-fruchtig, getoastet mit etwas umami-ähnlichem. Es kommt durchaus grasiges, süßes Zuckerrohr durch. Auch hier wieder Assoziationen zu Weißwein und Sesam hinten kommen leicht die Ester. Ganz was eigenes. Gefällt mir.

sehr intensiv und mhoba typisch funky und speckig rauchig! sehr komplex und außergewöhnlich und eine sehr gut eingebundene Fassstärke für ein so junges Alter! der french cask ist für mich aber dennoch deutlich besser.

Der stechende Alkohol verfliegt nach 20 Minuten, danach kommen Katjes Joghurt-Gums 😉 florale Noten, Äppelwoi. Am Gaumen eine cremige Süße, die ins Florale übergeht und mit bitterem Kakao, gebranntem Zucker und Röstaromen abschließt. Die Variation an der Nase und am Gaumen hat mich wirklich positiv überrascht. Klare Empfehlung 👍

Sehr rund für einen nur vierjährigen Rum. Spannendes Profil mit milchig-floralen, würzigen und süssen Noten. Bin sehr gespannt darauf, wie sich Mhobas mit noch mehr Lagerzeit entwickeln werden - die junge Garde ist jedenfalls schon sehr vielversprechend.

C'est super bien fait mais ce n'est pas le profil que je préfère. Peut-être qu'un peu plus vieux il me plairait plus !

Sehr spannend und lecker. Gefällt mir richtig gut. Nur der etwas kurze Abgang verhindert eine Top-Bewertung.

The nose is phenomenal. A lot going on like a mix of Jamaica of Savanna high ester. A bit of water releasens some musty and deeper notes. The palatte is not so wild dominated by young wood an keeps It from getting a higher score

Für seine vier Jahre hat er ordentlich was zu bieten. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
