Holmes Cay 2017 Mhoba South Africa Single Cask 4yo 59% 750ml is a remarkable and unique offering from the Mhoba Distillery, a renowned distillery in South Africa known for its distinctive rums. This specific bottling from Holmes Cay showcases a four-year aging process in ex-South African whisky casks, resulting in a rum that is bottled at a robust 59% ABV without any reduction or additives. The rum exudes a clear color, which is indicative of its relatively young age of four years. On the nose, it reveals a captivating aroma of overripe pineapple, papaya, and banana, mixed with a funky, buttery, and sugary profile. The palate is an explosion of tropical fruit flavors including pineapple, banana, berries, apricot, and plum, complemented by umami and buttery sweetness, dried currants, and a hint of spice. The finish is warm and herbal, with fruity and mineral undertones and a raisiny touch. This complex and aromatic rum offers a whirlwind of flavors, making it a standout among both independent and distillery releases from Holmes Cay.
