The Mhoba American Oak Aged Rum is a distinguished Small Batch rum, crafted without any additives. The Mhoba distillery, situated near the renowned Kruger National Park in South Africa, boasts its own sugarcane fields in the "Crocodile River Valley". Since 2015, they have been producing ten distinct types of Pure Single Sugarcane Rums on a commercial scale. This specific rum is made exclusively from fermented and distilled sugarcane juice, ensuring no blending with other distillates.
The ageing process of the Mhoba American Oak Aged Rum is particularly unique. Initially, the rum is left to mature in large glass demijohns with American white oak staves that have been cut, charred with charcoal, and placed inside. Following this initial phase, the rum is transferred to casks that previously contained South African whisky. This meticulous ageing process imparts a clean and straight cane juice flavor with a vegetal bitterness, complemented by the full potential of American oak. On the palate, it delivers an "English style" profile, featuring notes of wood, vanilla, coconut, and tobacco. The lemon nuances of the cane juice evolve into a more pronounced orange peel character, creating a highly enjoyable and concentrated taste.
Upon aeration, subtle hints of wood fire smoke, roasted, and caramelized notes emerge. The pecan nut flavor blends harmoniously with maple syrup, creating a characteristic American oak cask sweetness. This rum is then aged in ex-whisky casks, further enhancing its complex flavor profile. As a true Agricole Rum, it is crafted from fermented and distilled sugarcane juice, not molasses, which is a rare find outside the French-speaking islands of the Caribbean and Indian Oceans.

The Mhoba American Oak Aged Rum is appreciated for its highly estery nose, blending tropical fruit and vanilla with woody and smoky elements. While the nose is complex and inviting, the palate is perceived as lighter and slightly less intense by some reviewers. Notes of fruit, vanilla, caramel, and spices are prevalent, with a finish that maintains the roasted woody and waxy characteristics. Overall, the rum is seen as a great value for money and is recommended for its unique and original profile, despite some opinions finding it less complex on the palate.
