Surprise here: for a MHOBA cane-juice pot still, this leans more sweet and fruity than funky. Pineapple, yellow banana and coconut sit over an ex-bourbon caramel base, with just a light thread of ester and a touch of "burnt rubber" some catch. Let it breathe and the coconut and bourbon notes bloom. One taster called it "like Jamaica, but more sweet less funky."
The community says- Sweet pineapple, coconut
- Easy-going esters
- Keep in mind: Short finish

How does MHOBA WRD 9 (Nectar) 2020 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, coconut-led MHOBA, easier than most Members enjoy this one — fruity, coconut-tinged and easygoing for a MHOBA, with a gentle sweetness. A slightly artificial edge and short finish are the only real quibbles.

Review by zabo
Mhoba is simply Mhoba, difficult to describe this profile. I've had several in my glass now, but some weren't so good, but I liked this one again. Lots of fruit with a little ester and a pleasant sweetness
Review by Johannes
Very nice fruity profile without too many esters. Pleasant drinking strength with well-integrated alcohol.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Beautiful Mhoba with a complex nose. Intense sweetness on the palate. Something artificial accompanies it all the time. Perfume and other aromas. Definitely special but delicious. I like it very much. Top.
Review by Martin Ekrt
The smell is quite a game changer. For a while I smelled a hint of Jamaica thanks to the pineapple, then bourbon and coconut ala Foursquare. What does Mhoba actually taste like after the bourbon? Well like Mhoba after bourbon 😃. I'm having a hard time describing the taste, but it's definitely goodness.
Review by Rare Akuma
Tasted at SITS ‘25. Opens with a lively combination of tropical fruits, spices, BBQ herbs and sour components ranging from currants to sour cream to lemon juice. It’s unexpectedly fun and exciting with an interesting twist of seafoam and clay bringing some necessary complexity. In the mouth it’s much different than expected with foremost lots of sweetness. Caramel sweets and yellow mushy banana, chased with burnt sugar, coffee beans and speculoos spices. The finish is very short and bourbonesque. Only lightly fruity, but with a hefty amount of fireplace wood, hot mokka and winter spices. A very nice surprise at the fair. Not the most complex sip, but easy going and perfect for a cold winter evening.
Review by Martin Švojgr
I recommend letting it air out for a while. Apart from the fact that the typical mhoba esters will start pouring through the room, it will mellow the aroma and taste beautifully. A wonderful bourbon aroma and flavor will emerge, in this bottling complemented by cocoa notes. At times the coconuttiness reminds me of an older bottling of NewYarmouth. I'd also highlight the delicious fruit flavor, which is very nice in the body of this bottling.

The Road Rummers Africa tasting Wow! Nice development in this one. Sometimes i'm getting artificial taste, but does it matter? This is just nice to drink. Coconut has a little NY touch. A soft nose with some nuts. A bit of fruit. Retasting at SITS 2025 Nice yoghurt creamy flavour, slightly raising my score. Great price quality rum.
Review by Roman Lelek
I am impresed - well everytime i taste Mhoba, i like that. It’s like Jamaica, but more sweet less funky… The color is gold. The nose overripe fruit, honey and perfumes or esters - yeah it’s a good sign and promising for the taste… The taste - someone mentioned that it is better to leave it for a while and I agree, it’s even better….funky tropical fruit with esters.. Aftertaste is short to medium…
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
08/11/2025: tasted @ Spirits In The Sky 2025. Mhoba always pleasantly surprises me, and this one is no different. I like the yoghurt note I sometimes get with Mhoba, and this one even has some menthol/mint. Great complex nose and palate, good juice!
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Mhoba 2020 WRD9 – 57.4% Aged in a single ex-bourbon barrel and bottled at 57.4%, with only 141 copies for Nectar! A nose less expressive on esters than usual, but more fruity. Very pleasant to taste!
Review by Richard Krupa
Esters, fruit, coconut, milder taste than I would have expected
Review by jamdram
This is great! (Blind) sample from Road Rummers tasting. My first Mhoba, Would have picked Savanna, not far off;-)... a bit of plastic / burnt rubber, sweet pineapple, raisins. slightly nutty, waxy with toffee, caramel and banana candy. In the mouth hot, rich and sweet… With leather and funk. Finish is slightly astringent, barrel and spice remain. Water softens brings freshness & a hint of citrus.…
