Most tasters land somewhere between charmed and thrown by this one. The nose is all tropical fruit and fruit-brandy — mango, lychee, raspberry, that Williams pear thing. Then the palate swings vegetal: grass, olive, herbs, even mushroom and earth for some. A couple found it thin or bitter on the finish; fans call it elegant and "extrem fruchtig." Pure sugarcane pot-still, unmistakably Mhoba.
The community says- Intense fruity nose
- Elegant sugarcane character
- Keep in mind: Short finish

How does MHOBA Select Release White Rum 2019 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity nose, grassy pot-still white rum Loved by most for a raspberry-and-tropical nose that turns grassy and herbal in the mouth. The catch: a short finish, and some find it thin or a touch bitter.

I really like this Mhoba. It reminds me faintly of a Clairin. Nose mostly (tropical) fruits and only slightly floral. On the palate then the full vegetal/floral/grassy throb. I like it.

Classic Jamaican nose but deceptive... Apparently it's also Mhoba's trademark!! Very vegetal mouth with bitterness! Bitter finish.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4143 A fresh and fruity profile with a spicy warm touch on the palate. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass has some cane and licorice. Price to quality is very good.
Review by Johannes
Too much olive for me personally, I miss some fruity ester notes.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Mhoba's eccentric profile shines through here. Mushrooms, truffles, musk, sugar cane, notes of fermentation and decomposition, it's all there. Fortunately, the fruity side is there to remind us that this is a rum. The attack on the palate evolves under an atypical framework, bordered by buttery notes, thyme, floral and herbaceous notes, a hint of salt and pepper on a medicinal and fruity background. The alcohol is well integrated. The well-crafted finish brings us back to the vegetal and herbaceous framework, adorned with flowers, musk, spices (chili pepper) and leather with a certain bitterness. A fruity, honeyed veil reminds us that Mhoba is capable of finesse. A most zany profile, but very interesting to discover.
Review by Martin Spooner
The nose is absolutely fantastic raspberry. Very intense... I can smell it even when it's far away in the glass in front of me. The taste has a strong fruit brandy influence. Very pleasant to drink. Finish is a bit short. Probably a killer daiquiri rum.
Review by Eric Frechin
My first white mhoba. I'm very surprised; I was expecting an aromatic bomb like what I've already drunk from this brand, but it's nothing of the sort. The nose is soft, with a sweet, fruity bouquet. On the palate, it's more eau de vie and grassy, creamy. The finish is earthy with mushrooms, grass and cane.
Review by Nils123
Excellently made; beautiful, intense notes. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, great! With water it becomes buttery but also more floral with citrus notes on the finish.
Review by TheJackDrop
Whisky Live 2023, quick tasting session! In the Jam style, but lighter. Interesting discovery.
Review by Harald
Aroma:Fruity like a fruit brandy - my first thought is Williams Christ.Lots of tropical fruit aromas - papaya, mango, lychee juice.The purest fruit salad ... with sweet cream, sugar cane and honey.Taste:Sweet and creamy in the mouth, yet fruity and spicy.Spicy alcoholic when swallowed, yet wonderfully fruity.This is really fine distilled ... elegant, sweet, extremely fruity with sugar cane, salt and grassy flavors.Mirabelle plum, Japanese wool mistletoe - lowquat, fruit compote with cream.Finish:Medium length, fruity, sweet and warming.Conclusion:What a tasty thing! Unreservedly to

Review by Korbinian Koch

Read full review ›By similar I am talking about the general punters viewpoint - they might not see a huge difference between one white rum and another. There is though and this is good stuff. Definitely towards the higher end of the white rum experience. This sits nicely alongside the other Mhoba White...
