Mhoba 2018 Pot Stilled High Ester South Africa 65.2% 700ml is a remarkable rum from the Mhoba distillery, showcasing South Africa's finest rum craftsmanship. This rare release, limited to just 78 bottles, is a high proof spirit with an ABV of 65.2%, capturing the robust essence of pot still distillation. The rum is crafted from pure sugar cane juice and undergoes an extensive fermentation process, incorporating cane juice with dunder, resulting in a high ester content reminiscent of the bold Jamaican rums. On the nose, it reveals an enticing bouquet of vanilla, buttery notes, and an array of fruity scents including strawberry, red fruits, currants, and marshmallow. The palate is a concentrated explosion of flavors, initially strong and alcoholic, with notes of strawberry, buttery tones, and a synthetic white chocolate hint. As it opens up, you'll detect a unique blend of funkiness. The finish is characterized by a slight bitterness, smoky undertones, and lingering fruity esters, making it a complex and multi-dimensional experience. The Mhoba brand has gained acclaim for its innovative approach, utilizing native South African ingredients and pioneering techniques to produce exceptional rums. The 2018 High Ester release stands as a testament to their commitment to quality, offering a bold and intense profile that sets it apart from traditional rums. This batch has been noted for its drier and fruitier profile compared to previous releases, with unique notes like Latte Macchiato and grilled fish, providing a balanced sweetness and acidity, making it a standout choice for rum aficionados.
This rum is distinguished by its high ester content, intense flavor profile, and unique South African production methods using native ingredients.
