#5746 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This was another of my hight lights at the WL 2026. A nice ester bomb with a lot of fruit and floral notes. ABV and wood really well integrated with some nice spicy notes.
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at Whisky Live Paris in 2025. A vegetal and woody nose, fruity (very ripe pineapple) and estery, with a good deal of spice softened by the bourbon cask. The palate is lively, woody with fruit, vegetal, sweetness and dried herbs. The finish, unlike the Skukuza and Letaba, is well-balanced and tasty. My favorite of the three, and proof that Mhoba has improved a lot in recent times.

« Premières impressions dégustation au whisky live 2025, il faudra une deuxième dégustation au calme pour vraiment valider ou faire évoluer le commentaire et la note » Très belle embouteillage chez Mhoba rappelant pour ma part l’embouteillage « FAQ Plastic 2017 » intense, au nez banane, exotiques, confits.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Mhoba Letaba – 65.1% Vieilli 42 mois dans un petit fût ex-bourbon américain (Woodford Reserve, 97 L). Une véritable bombe d’esters, plus fruitée et florale que les précédentes. Le plus expressif des trois, avec une finale longue, riche et gourmande. Clairement le meilleur du trio !
Review by Jonathan Massard
Dégustation au WLP 2025. 👃 Jus de canne à sucre, esters typique de Mhoba. Banane flambée, fruits trop mûrs. Le fût de Bourbon amène des épices typiques (poivre, vanille) et de caramel (sucre trop cuit dans la poêle). Fraîcheur mentholée, végétale. Caractère empyreumatique sur du caoutchouc brûlé et sa fumée. 😋 Vive, intense, estérisée, piment, réglisse fondue, bonbon au tamarin, confiture de canne à sucre et de caramel beurre salé, vanille. Expression puissante, sapide et fraiche. Alcool très bien intégré malgré les 65% ! 💡 Le meilleur des 3 Mhoba présentés au salon, et de loin.
