The Mhoba Pot Stilled High Ester Rum 66.2% 700ml is a distinctive rum that delivers an intense and unforgettable experience for rum aficionados. This extraordinary rum hails from South Africa and is produced by the renowned Mhoba brand. The rum's unique profile is the result of a meticulous and prolonged fermentation process lasting 24 days, coupled with the use of dunder—a traditional Jamaican technique—comprising 30% of the rum. This method produces a high ester rum with an authentically Jamaican character, distinguished by powerful solvent notes and overproof style.
Upon the first sip, the palate is greeted by a potent solvent sensation reminiscent of Jamaican overproof rums. This initial burst is succeeded by a substantial wave of cooked cane juice that retains a vegetal and confit quality. Subsequent notes of irresistibly delicious brown sugar enrich the tasting experience. The thick, sticky cane flavor slowly envelops the taste buds, saturating every corner of the palate.
With aeration, the rum reveals additional layers of complexity. Notes of cane juice emerge, well-rounded yet precise, accompanied by hints of licorice and fresh spices. Metallic undertones also make an appearance, evoking flavors of cherry and even kirsch. Compared to other rums from the Mhoba brand, this variant stands out due to its long fermentation process and the use of dunder, resulting in a high concentration of volatile compounds and esters. This complexity manifests in a rich and multifaceted flavor profile.
Overall, the Mhoba Pot Stilled High Ester Rum 66.2% 700ml is not for the faint-hearted. It offers an intense and memorable experience with a unique flavor profile that is sure to captivate and delight rum enthusiasts.
