Introducing Franky's Pineapple Rum, a unique and exciting rum from the MHOBA distillery in South Africa. This small-batch, handcrafted rum is distilled from fresh sugar cane juice using a Pot Still and has an ABV of 43%. The rum is infused with golden, ripened pineapple from the Natal Queen variety, resulting in a distinctive aroma of pineapple, ester, sugarcane, smoky, and woody notes. The palate offers a burst of pineapple, woody, vanilla, toasted, and fruity flavors.
The MHOBA distillery, located in a fertile river valley on the edge of the Kruger National Park, prides itself on producing rum from fresh sugar cane juice rather than molasses. The Pot Stills are designed and fabricated by Robert Greaves, a trained mechanical engineer and experimental entrepreneur.
Franky's Pineapple Rum is an infused rum, blended with Glass Cask Rum and two other components, creating a unique and unconventional rum experience. The rum is free of additives and is a true representation of the distillery's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Franky's Pineapple Rum has generated mixed opinions. Some appreciate its natural and robust pineapple flavor, while others find the combination with sugar cane less appealing. The aroma is often described as wild and overripe, with a juicy and sweet, yet somewhat flat taste. The rum is noted for its vegetal, woody, and smoky nose and a lighter mouthfeel on the palate. It has a distinct, almost divisive character that some find perfect for relaxation or cocktail experimentation, while others feel it misses the mark.
