Review by RumTaTa
Nase: erinnert mich sofort und deutlich an Clairin und an diese verrückte Abfüllung der alten Tabakstube: RX18080! Überreife Ananas, Klebstoff und Lack, Butter, Keksteig, Käse, nasses Heu, Rauch, Speck und alles mit sehr hoher Intensität. Von Fass- oder Röstnoten keine Spur. Gaumen: sehr scharfer Antritt, Alkohol ist sehr deutlich zu spüren, immerhin knapp 70%! Wieder Butter, Käse, Clairin, Ananas u.s.w. plus junges Holz und ein paar schüchterne Röstnoten und viel Süße! Nachklang: mittellang bis lang, konsistent zu Nase und Gaumen. Die Intensität verblasst recht schnell aber Nuancen bleiben sehr lange. Sehr krasser Rum, alles andere als rund, ich empfehle mit sehr kleinen Schlucken zu starten. Wer Clairin und besagte Tabakstubenabfüllung mag, findet hier alles wieder - nur potenziert. Mit besser eingebundenem Alkohol wären noch ~0.3 Punkte mehr drin. Ich liebe solche abgefahrenen Rums!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Ester Hunter Catch 7: full on the 12. Mhoba as it’s written in the book but with almost even more power than usual. On the nose, overripe pineapple and papaya and other undefinable tropical fruits come together, almost bordering on fermented. Along with peanut butter, bacon, Spanish brandy, some cheese, and fresh, damp hay. On the palate, it’s noticeably more sour and salty than expected. Basically salty, sour, smoky, and rather dry. The acidity runs intensely through to the finish, more like a definitely overripe pineapple, slightly cheesy (feta in brine), and musty. I can partly understand the compost heap comment, you really have to be into that. The score could have been higher for me if the nose and palate were closer, but for me they’re quite far apart. For me, it’s a bit too extreme! I prefer other Mhoba styles...
