Habitation Velier MHOBA Mhoba 2024
Most tasters land in a happy middle on this one: a high-strength white Mhoba that drinks far softer than 66% has any right to. Expect fresh sugarcane, pear, a green-olive savory edge and a light funky-fermented twang, with faint citrus and salt. A few call it niche, but plenty found it "surprisingly smooth and enjoyable neat too."
- Sugarcane character
- Smoother than expected
- Green-olive funk

How does Habitation Velier MHOBA Mhoba 2024 taste?
Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Fresh, funky white rum that sips smooth Well-liked unaged Mhoba with sugarcane, green olive and gentle funk. Most find it smooth despite the strength; some say the olive-salt-fermented profile won't suit everyone.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#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.

Verkostet auf der Whisky-Live in Hamburg 2025: Überraschend gefälliger ungelagerter Rum. Schönes Aromenspiel mit kräuterigen Noten, Zuckerrohr und Frucht. Begleitet von leichten Esternoten. Hat mir gut gefallen!
Review by Galli33
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.

Sicher nicht jedermanns Fall. Mir gefällt er sehr gut! Diese Mischung aus Ester, grüner Olive, Salz, Fleisch und Guave ist schon speziell…..

Definitely nice Mhoba profile for a white rum!
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.
