Intense funky Mhoba fruit bomb

#6106 19.12.2025 Tasting at Whisky Watcher in Odense. Nose Mediuim intense, fruity, ester, overripe, pineapple, banana, light caramel, light earthy. Palate Oily, fresh, medium intense, naturally sweet, fruity, ester, light floral, light cinnamon, light orange, banana. Finish Long and warm, peppery, fresh, oily, light cinnamon, ester, light tobacco, citrus. Should not be left in the glass for too long!
Mhoba at is best… allein diese Nase…. Erstklassige Ester, Tropische Frucht und zarte Vanille..absolut Hampdenlike! Am Gaumen dann neben anfangs Ester, viel Tannine, Piment und stark gebrannter Zucker.. recht intensiv das Ganze. Der Abgang bleibt auf der Tanninlastigen Seite. Sicherlich nicht jedermanns Geschmack, ich finde ihn klasse
Ein Mhoba der mich unglaublich überzeugt. Sehr viel Ester/ Politur und tropische Früchte sowie Karamell auf der einen Seite, aber auch ein sehr interessanter Gewürzeinfluss mit Zimt im Fokus. Alkohol super eingebunden!
#1705 18-12-2025 - Rate 9.0 I’m a huge fan of the Habitation Mhoba 2017. This is also a 4 year rum but distilled 4 years later the the Habitation edition. A bit lower ABV. Not the same as the Habitation but really good. I like the kick of the Habitation but also like the more subtle version. Nose of banana, fruit, ester and polish. Palate of ester, polish, citrus and mango. Long finish dominated by ester, tropical fruits and oak. 31-12-2025 - Rate 9.0
