Ein Traum 🥰
Review by benoit burger
Nez complex avec des ester du fruit tropicaux bien mur un léger boisé et vanillé ainsi que de la douceur avec un côté pop corne caramélisé. La bouche est beaucoup plus simple épicé et boisé avec le côté caramélisé plus présente (peut-être trop) la longueur est quasi inexistante Mais bon rapport qualité prix quand même

Tasted 06-04-2024 Nosing The nose on this is insane, stewed apples meet a macadamia nut on the first nosing .. Then oak meets a vegetal nose .. Tasting This is slightly heavy on the oak notes but then sweetens This is insane for the price ...
Review by Jean Louisss
The nose is a pure delight. A blend of Jamaican crossed with Foursquare and mhoba high ester, wow.the palate on the other hand is a little disappointing compared to the nose because we lose a lot of aroma between the two.overall the value for money remains very good, a good surprise!

Online degustace rum rocku. První vzorek. Zaujal, byť bych lahev doma nepotřeboval. Technicita ve vůni je něco, co mám fakt rád. Takovej jihoafrickej kanagon v nižší voltáži. ABV 43% je asi nejslabší stránka rumu.

Ein sehr angenehmer Sipper! Perfekte Trinkstärke für Rum Anfänger! Unter 40€ Wahnsinns Plv!
Review by Sebas143
Very pleasant rum, will appeal to the whisky enthusiastsas well. If you can buy it in the lower end of 30 - 40 euro's it is a must buy.
Review by Harald
Geruch: Sehr frisch, süß und fruchtig mit einigen Ester-Aromen, vor allem Frucht-Ester. Hat typische südafrikanische Geruchskomponenten wie Rotbusch-Tee und Amarulla. Zudem Vanille und etwas Holz. Riecht schon mal lecker. Geschmack: Mild, leicht und etwas wässrig, was in Anbetracht der 43% keine Überraschung ist. Etwas prickelnd im Mund, dann würzig. Beim Schlucken frisch, würzig (Ingwer, Chili) und alkoholisch. Beim zweiten Schluck kommen dann auch fruchtige Ester Aromen. Der Rum sollte einige Minuten stehen, dann entwickeln sich immer mehr Ester. Zudem Vanille Aromen. Abgang: Mittellang,
Review by Mateusz
Highly estery nose, which is stronger was stronger than anticipated, but very well received by myself. Grassy, rubbery and slightly fruity nose. There is noticeable punch of estery like flavoure followed by strong sweet and vanilla flavour. Very well balanced finish. Great stuff!
Review by Vincent D
Odeur boisée et terreuse suivie de notes fruitées. Première impression en bouche sucrée et vanillée. Puis plus sèche, boisée et piquante. De la puissance et un ensemble qui ne ressemble à rien que je connaisse. Très agréablement surpris.
Review by Tomáš Jankovský
Výborný start do značky Mhoba. Bohatá vůně plna tropického ovoce s náznaky dřeva. V chuti ovocnost mizí a nastupuje chut dřeva a vanilky.

OVNI. Très belle surprise. Dégustation 16.07.22.
