"Typical solid Mhoba, but on the palate just too young and impetuous and a little too spicy for me. Does a one-year-old rum, even if it is wonderfully designed and comes from a single cask, really have to cost more than EUR 100 these days? 🙄"

"Amazingly complex. You can taste tropical influences and a finish. I like it very much!"

"So, as I already wrote on the WR10, I'm not that experienced with Mhoba yet and it doesn't seem to be my cup of tea. It's sometimes too tiring for me. Lots of esters and solvents, which is great of course, but it's quite complex. Slight sweetness, some wood with a fruit basket. I found the cherry bottling better in direct comparison."

"No. 5: Yes, this rum is not bad. Quite woody on the nose and also very strong. The woody taste continues on the palate. I also find that it tastes slightly fruity. Overall score 8.4 :)"
