Mhoba Bushfire is a unique pure cane juice rum distilled in a pot-still, paying homage to South African culture where large barbecues, or "Braai," are a time-honored tradition. To capture the distinctive flavors of these gatherings, Mhoba has matured this rum in casks made from toasted acacia wood, which is commonly used for smoking meats in the region.
The aroma of this rum is an enchanting blend of ripe sugar cane, resinous aromas, and vegetal notes, accompanied by a subtle briny undertone. As you swirl and aerate the rum, a surprising smoky woodiness emerges, reminiscent of a wood fire. The smoke gracefully settles on the spirit, much like it would on a mezcal, adding depth and complexity.
This handcrafted cane spirit is akin to a brandy from the South African bush, where sugar cane is the star of the show. The smoky notes complement the concentrated cane without overpowering it, resulting in a harmonious balance of flavors.
Inspired by the "Braai" tradition, where the sicklebush tree is often used for barbecuing, Mhoba Bushfire celebrates South African culture and the unique shared moments it fosters. This rum invites you to experience the warmth and camaraderie of a "Braai" in every sip, making it a true celebration of the region's rich heritage.
Mhoba Bushfire rum is unique due to its aging in toasted acacia wood casks, which imparts smoky and meaty flavors, reminiscent of South African barbecues.
