Velier MHOBA FAQ Plastic 2017

Excellent mhoba,yogurt,vanilla,toasted,raspberry,funky,complex..a little treat.

Hampden from Martinique. Tremendous complexity after 4 years and super integrated alcohol. Overripe fruit with undertones of agricole. Sour yogurt. Dry salted bacon on the finish.

Compared to the habitation velier on the palate it is more complex and has an excellent richness of flavors! It also gives you a very pleasant very fruity and sweet finish! Mhoba is surprising me more and more!

Le nez est fou ! Avec des esters de la canne à sucre et du yaourt fermenté à la vanille. la bouche est légèrement boisé complexe crémeuse et toasté. L'alcool est super bien intégré au vu de son taux élevé et son jeune âge. Un Mhoba un peu spécial !

best mhoba to date

Rating confirmed from 5 months ago: 88 points.In the nose raspberry jam (and nicotine?). Hard to distinguish from a Clairin. On the palate, the South African seems round, deep and powerful, that's how it should be. Fine stuff, awesome shit - keep it up, Mhoba! 👏

24.02.2024 Great tasting event at Whisky Watcher with food and lots of bottles. Retasting and I still like it a lot. --------------------- After resting 15+ minutes this rum starts to release a lot of flavours in the glass. In order to release even more I added a few drops of water. A very nice cooperation with Velier and a very good final result. Fruity with smoky wood, varnish and clear Agricole notes. There is a nice hint of chocolate, anise and floral notes as well. Getting the bottle is almost impossible and the price went through the roof. If you get the chance give it a go.

Mein erster Mhoba und ich muss sagen, dass es schon speziell ist. Besonders die Nase mit den sehr intensiven Noten, welche schon etwas an abgelaufenen Joghurt erinnern mit viel Säure sind Geschmackssache. Am Gaumen eine absolute Wucht. Super süß und kaum noch Säure. Wie ein Toffee Keks. Sehr gelungen und macht viel Spaß.

For me, the best mhoba to date. Very atypical, out of the ordinary even. The high esters give it a very truffled, earthy quality that my palate has never tasted before. A great success for this rather young rum. Add to this a rather well-integrated alcohol and a good length.

Second tasting: very good Jamaica Funk from Africa ( 1)Unusual nose, even for Mhoba: very fruity, fermented at the same time and many other flavors in a previously unknown combination to me... I like excellent.The palate can unfortunately not quite keep up and the aftertaste is relatively short only the fermented fruit and the butter note remain very long.Great new experience and for the output price top price performance! Meanwhile, unfortunately, much too expensive, if you can get at all.

Hampden meets Agricole. Super exciting!

The fifth tasting of the night at Whisky Watcher the 24th of February 2024, with nice company. The surprise of the evening! I had not yet had the luck to try this. Wow, it has a plastic-like estery nose at first, going into a fruity nose. Notes of dried fruits, grass and some glue-like finish

What a lovely rum. If all mhoba where like that it would dominate the nerd market for high intensity rum. A really balanced flavour profile of glue apricot and woody spice. I want so much more of the! Please mhoba do this yearly!

Bisher mein Favorit von Mhoba, neben dem Mhoba Antipodes (der allerdings weniger Ecken und Kanten zeigt). Nachtrag „Kleines“ Mhoba Cross-Tasting 2025: Immer noch einer der besseren Mhobas. Weniger spektakulär als ein Ingwe, eher in Richtung Antipodes, aber komplexer. Insbesondere die Kirschnote finde ich sehr lecker.

중간정도의 에스터에, 탄탄한 질감을 가지고 있습니다. 다소 우디해요. 남아공 럼은 처음 마셔보는데, 사바나 럼과 비슷한 뉘앙스 입니다. 맛이 다채로우면서도 모호하지 않고 개성이 뚜렷합니다. 강렬하지만 도수에 비해서는 매콤하지 않고 열대과일이 느껴집니다. 드라이하고 맛있습니다. 가격이 다소 비싸서 한번의 경험으로 만족합니다. 다른 mhoba도 마셔보고 싶네요!
