Well-liked here, with tasters landing somewhere between "young and wild" and pleasantly calmed-down. One member pins it as a cross between Hampden ester fire and Haitian agricole — fresh cane, citrus, a green vegetal streak and ripe fruit, then spice and light wood on the palate. At 65% the alcohol reads well integrated, and nuts creep into the long finish.

Mhoba always has top rums. This one is also very nice. Esters are noticeable here, the nose is quite fresh, with citrus fruits and a bit of caramel. On the palate, it's more spicy and woody, as well as slightly fruity.

#4914 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Intense, fresh, light vegetal, light citrus, ester, light cherry, light caramel, spice, fruity, overripe, polish. Palate Intense, warm, spicy, light wood, ester, fruity, overripe, light orange, faint chocolate, faint caramel, light berries. Finish Long and warm, fruity, ester, light wood, light caramel, light berries, faint coffee, faint nutts. Also a pretty good release and a show of what a cask can to to a rum.

Tasted originally at WLP '24 , but recently with friends. Allowed it to rest and breathe more time. Nose is citrus, vegetal, spicy and fruity. Palate has esters, fruits and spices. In the finish nuts also emerge like peanut.

First time i try Mhoba. I really like this, it's young and wild. The nose is like a combination of a Hampden rum fire and a Haiti agricole. Tastes like young Hampden. The 65% alcohol is well integrated. I want more Mhoba!

8.2/10

Nose: Immediately an industrial, slightly dirty style that spontaneously reminds me of Caroni. There are subtle ester and varnish notes, nice spice, and a light cask profile. The alcohol is well integrated in the nose, resulting in a very coherent overall picture. In a blind tasting, I wouldn't clearly classify it as Caroni on the palate, since the industrial notes are much more restrained. Still, it is intense, spicy, and very interesting, with light ester/varnish notes and well-integrated French oak. The alcohol is a bit more present but could be better integrated for me. There are also light tropical and vegetal hints. Finish: Medium to long, warm and spicy, with lingering ester, wood, and cask notes. Conclusion: A very exciting South African cane juice rum with an unusual, almost Caroni-like aroma. If the alcohol were a bit better integrated and showed more fruit, it would be a real top rum for me. But for the price, definitely worth a try.
