- Description
- Mhoba's 2017 vintage aged for four years in ex-bourbon casks, bottled by Habitation Velier at 64.6%, and produced from Nkomazi sugarcane native to South Africa. The palate balances sweet vanilla and cloves against coffee, dark chocolate, and smoky oak, with black pepper and spice threading throughout. A youthful but complex South African rum for those exploring rum-producing regions beyond the Caribbean.
