Alcohol much better integrated than in the HV Mhoba 2017. I like this one a little better, it's just a shame that it's not available in Europe.

8.2/10

Probably due to the bourbon finish a not quite typical Mhoba with less fruity ester notes, but nevertheless a complex, beautiful rum.

7.7/10

Good Mhoba with classic fruit aromas, flanked by some caramel and wood as well as crisp young wood. Quite offensive on the palate, the alcohol is evident but remains under control overall. Challenging, but still appealing.
