Loved by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰, cigares & 11 more
For experienced palates: a powerful Mhoba cane-juice rum aged ~4 years in ex‑bourbon. Expect esters, overripe pineapple and banana, menthol freshness, rustic spices and dry herbs. Best slowly sipped with water.
- Intense esters

#5732 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. I just like Mhoba because they try all kinds of stuff and they mostly succeed. This one is also pretty good with lots of fruit and light ester. Wood and ABV are in very good balance.
Review by cigares
Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live Paris en 2025. Un nez végétal et boisé, fruité et esterisé avec pas mal d’épices un peu rustiques et des herbes sèches. La bouche est vive, alcoolique, rustique, boisée, pimentée avec du végétal et des herbes sèches. La finale est assez longue mais, comme l’ensemble de ce rhum, un peu mal dégrossie. Il faut ajouter que sur ce plan Mhoba s’est beaucoup amélioré ces derniers temps. J’ai préféré la finition bourbon de ce rhum à la finition brandy du Skukuza même si l’alcool est un peu trop marqué en première bouche.
Review by Rodolphe
On est chez mhoba, donc c'est pas très fin. On prend la valise d'esters pur jus de canne et on enfonce la porte. L'élevage en bourbon de celui ci est bien marqué mais j'ai trouvé que ça marchait bien. Cela arrondit le rhum pour le rendre un peu plus facile, moins agressif et j'ai plutôt apprécié. A réessayer plus posément.

« Premières impressions dégustation whisky live 2025, il faudra une deuxième dégustation au calme pour vraiment valider ou faire évoluer le commentaire et la note » Plus frais et plus vif que le Skukuza dû au finish en bourbon.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Celui qui m'a le moins convaincu des trois, je l'ai trouvé déséquilibré avec une mauvaise intégration de l'alcool
