Product Details

Nose: Intense aromas of freshly cut sugarcane and overripe bananas. Earthy notes of wet soil and grass clippings mingle with hints of olive brine and varnish. A touch of diesel fuel and rubber adds complexity.

Palate: Bold and fiery with a thick, oily texture. Flavors of raw sugar and fermented fruit dominate, balanced by vegetal notes of green peppers and bamboo shoots. Peppery spice and a slight metallic tang provide depth.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering notes of black pepper and citrus peel. The high alcohol content leaves a pleasant burn, while subtle smoky undertones and a hint of sea salt round out the experience.

Mhoba High Ester White Rum is crafted from pure N49 and N57 cane juice varieties, using a unique dual fermentation process that includes a 28-day wild fermentation with dunder and a 14-day open-air fermentation, before being distilled in custom-made stills and carefully blended from select cuts.

The Mhoba distillery crafts this rum using a custom-made still designed and built by the master distiller himself, creating a truly artisanal spirit with a unique flavor profile unlike any other white rum on the market.

This rum undergoes an extraordinary 28-day wild fermentation process using pressed cane juice and dunder from previous distillations, resulting in an incredibly complex flavor that's rare for an unaged rum.

With a staggering congener content of 3019.7 g/hlpa, this high-ester rum packs more flavor compounds than many aged rums, offering an intense sensory experience that challenges conventional notions of what a white rum can be.
