Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Tres joli dans le style!
Review by Serge
I teresting Mhoba release with a great balance of fruit, esters, caramel, spiciness and a medicinal, mentholated finish. Really not bad and very similar/equivalent to the older (better rated) bottlings. the profile is very recognizable and just wears off a bit, which I think explains the mediocre ratings. I find it delicious.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un jeune Mhoba dynamique qui se laisse facilement approcher par rapport à d’autres rhums de la gamme. Le nez propose une trame médicinale, beurrée, bien épicée (piment) et végétale sur le sous-bois et les champignons. On a également des effluves d’ananas mûr, du caramel et un boisé léger. Le profil est prenant et captivant pour les narines. La bouche est agréable, on retrouve les fruits tropicaux mûrs et les agrumes, mais aussi le côté médicinal, fermenté, beurré et esterisé du profil sud-africain. Le canne à sucre légèrement confite rencontre les épices (cardamome), le boisé et le fumé pour construire un rhum rond et équilibré. L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale est plutôt courte mais ne manque pas de charme et d’arômes entre ses notes douces et mielleuses, ses agrumes, son boisé épicé, son cuir animal et ses notes médicinales, herbacées, caoutchouteuses et plastiques. La finale est intense mais trop éphémère hélas. Il n’en reste pas moins un bon rhum qui jouit d’un bel équilibre entre arômes, structure et plaisir.

Deutliche fruchtige Ester, Vanillin, Holz. Nicht ganz so rund.

#4869 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 Fresh, medium intense, light wood, raisin, light caramel, light vegetal, light pineapple, faint earthy, light citrus, light ester. Palate Round, light, fresh, medium intense, light ester, fruity, light citrus, faint pineapple, faint caramel, light wood, faint smoke. Finish Medium long, fresh, light ester, light wood, fruits, light citrus, faint grass, faint leather. Another easy drinkable release that I think most would be able to drink once rested.
