Most people land in a warm spot with this unaged Mhoba, even if it's not for everyone. Expect fresh sugarcane, green olive, pear and light esters, with a smoothness that keeps the 66.2% surprisingly in check. Several tasters found it shines in a cocktail but still sips well neat. One reviewer put it plainly: a "nice Mhoba profile for a white rum."
The community says- Fresh sugarcane character
- Smooth for the proof

How does Habitation Velier MHOBA 2024 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fresh, funky unaged sugarcane sipper Well-liked as an unaged pot-still rum. Fresh sugarcane, olive and gentle ester funk, smoother than the high proof suggests. A few say the savory, salty-funky side won't suit everyone.

#4836 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 Very fresh, sweet, fruity, light pear, light olive, floral, light vegetal, sugarcane. Palate Smooth, fresh, velvety, fruity, sweet, light funky, light berries, light vegetal, faint citrus. Finish Medium long, fresh, round, fruits, light citrus, faint salt. This rum might be for a mixer but does pretty well as a sipper. Price to quality is also pretty good. I love the smoothness of this release and I'd say it's a pretty easy sipper.

Had a great tasting evening with some neighbors. We enjoyed a beautiful low-ester rum from Mhoba — full of rich sugarcane character/notes. While it really shines in a cocktail, it’s surprisingly smooth and enjoyable neat too.
Review by Timo Groeger
Great Mhoba, I really liked it. It's a very funky rum, esters are clearly noticeable, and on the palate, it's both vegetal and fruity at the same time. On the nose, it's a bit fresher, with cane sugar noticeable here.
Review by Johannes
Definitely not everyone's cup of tea. I really like it! This mix of ester, green olive, salt, meat, and guava is quite special...
Review by Chrischi78
Tasted at Whisky Live in Hamburg 2025: Surprisingly pleasant unaged rum. Nice aromatic play with herbal notes, cane sugar, and fruit. Accompanied by light ester notes. I really liked it!
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
08/11/2025: tasted @ Spirits In The Sky 2025. First time tasting an unaged rum from Mhoba, which is exciting. Comparing it to the unaged Renegade, this Mhoba is way better and easier to sip in my opinion. Don't need a full bottle of it though.
Review by Emilien
Description Nose: very very fragrant and aromatic. Delicious. Palate: after the very similar start to River Antoine River! (8.7/10) which I enjoy. Very good discovery. Fermented, aromatic, ester, wild, a pleasure. I recommend it. Finish: long, fermented-wild. Conclusion: recommended 8+, a pleasure, similar to River Antoine River except at the entry on the palate.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Definitely nice Mhoba profile for a white rum!
