Perfect, the taste reminds me of 10Yr Jamaica

First of all, die Mhoba die immer so hoch gelobt bzw. gut bewertet sind, fand ich gar nicht so gut. Komischerweise sagt mir die Abfüllung mehr zu. Meines Erachtens ist dieser zu unterbewertet oder ich habe doch einfach einen eigenartigen Geschmackt ;-)

#4619 17.02.2024 Relaxing with a few rums after training on my bike after a longer break. Thanks to Roberto for the samples. Nose Intense, fruity, vegetal, light roasted wood, light sugarcane, faint smoke. Palate Intense, light roasted wood, fruity, ester, light caramel, sugarcane, light vegetal, faint rubber. Finish Intense, long and warm, banana, roasted wood, ester. A really nice rum at a good price tag. Draws really nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some medicinal and faint leather notes.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A young rum bottled in partnership with the 1802 bar. The nose reveals the typical notes of Mhoba, the earthy side with mushrooms on the verge of decomposition, vegetal notes, ripe banana, sugar cane typical of the terroir, without forgetting the woody, vanilla and spicy notes that bring balance to these very divisive flavors.On the palate, we find a controlled attack despite the degrees on the meter, with rubbery notes, a medicinal side with esters, a beautiful basket of ripe fruits and woody and spicy notes. The whole is dry but very approachable. The finish is of medium length and reminiscent of tropical fruits, esters, spices and wood, with a hint of leather to complement.A rum that looks good for its relatively low age count. Even if it is rather linear and lacks depth, aging and complexity, it remains an appreciable rum to discover new horizons. The quality / price ratio is nevertheless questionable.

I can't decide from the first Mhoba select1802, more flashy maybe 🏴☠️ Thanks Cris 🇵🇹🎄
Review by Jakob
Frucht trifft buttriges Karamell. Angenehmer, noch jugendlich-frisch daherkommender Rum, dem aber keineswegs die Ausdrucksstärke fehlt. Etwas mehr Reife im Sinne eines Gegenpols schwerer Aromen aus dem Fass könnte spannend sein, aber auch so ist das Gesamtpaket schon recht ansprechend.
