Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Fresh mint leaves and rich caramel dominate the aroma. A subtle hint of vanilla lingers in the background, creating an inviting and complex bouquet.

Palate: Smooth vanilla notes immediately coat the tongue, followed by a surprising burst of briny saltiness. Sichuan peppercorns add a unique, tingling spice that dances across the palate. The interplay between sweet and savory elements creates a fascinating tasting experience.

Finish: The finish is long and evolving. Initial waves of spun sugar sweetness give way to a cooling eucalyptus sensation. The mint from the nose returns, leaving a refreshing and clean aftertaste that invites another sip.

Mhoba SAW Rum is crafted from fresh-pressed cane juice, fermented with wild yeast, and distilled in Mhoba's signature pot stills before aging for six years in South African whisky casks, resulting in a unique expression that showcases the terroir of South African rum-making and the influence of subtropical aging at the distillery.

This rum is made from fresh-pressed cane juice and fermented with wild yeast, making it one of the few "agricole-style" rums produced outside the French Caribbean - a true rarity from South Africa.

Despite being only six years old, this rum was aged in the subtropical climate of South Africa, which accelerates the maturation process and creates a complexity usually found in much older spirits.

The unique combination of South African whisky casks and fresh sugarcane distillate results in a flavor profile that includes unexpected notes of eucalyptus and Sichuan peppercorn - a testament to the rum's distinctive terroir.
