Mhoba Rum

A financial crisis sent a mechanical engineer back to his family's sugarcane fields, where he built his own stills and created South Africa's answer to agricole rum. Robert Greaves never planned to become a rum producer, but necessity and a holiday in Mauritius changed his course. Today he still distills only on stills he built himself.

    Item no.: 22227865417-19125
    Mhoba American Oak Aged Pure Single South Africa Rum 70 cl 43%Mhoba American Oak comes from the South African rum producer Mhoba, which has created a variant that is aged in large glass balloons (Demi-johns) filled with charred oak staves of American white oak. After a period of time in these glass balloons, the rum is transferred to more traditional whisky casks, but casks that have contained South African whisky, which is in fine symbiosis with the South African production. The Nkomazi sugar cane that the rum is made from is grown nearby and helps to give the unique character that Mhoba rum is becoming world famous for.

The other part consists of unaged Highest West rum, which has been fermented longer, resulting in a hugely powerful but extremely delicate flavor. Expect tropical fruit, among other things.

  • Mhoba White Pot Stilled High Ester Pure Single White Rum South Africa 66.2%.
    Item no.: 22227865417-19132-50615543
    Mhoba White Pot Stilled High Ester is not like the "regular" white rum from Mhoba. This version comes in different batches, but the difference is also that the fermentation takes longer and uses "thunder", like classic powerful Jamaican rums. However, this one is made from pure sugarcane juice and not molasses. It's distilled at a lower strength, which makes for a more powerful and heavy rum. Fortunately, it's bottled at a high alcohol percentage, so you can really get the flavor.
    This batch is bottled at 66.2%. It's not for the faint of heart, but can definitely give your cocktails an extra kick! Distillery: Mhoba Rum Age: NA Type: White rum from South Africa Alc. strength: 66,2 % Number of bottles: 108 pcs. 70 cl. Other: High Ester - Harvest Period: May 2019

About Mhoba Rum

Mhoba is a South African craft distillery from the Mpumalanga province, known for producing pure agricole-style rum from sugarcane juice rather than molasses. For newcomers, it's an earthy, sugarcane-driven rum unlike most commercial molasses rums; for collectors, one of the rum world's most personal projects, where even the stills are self-built.

History & Background

The Greaves family has grown sugarcane at the foot of the Makhonjwa mountains since the 1980s. Robert Greaves studied mechanical engineering, but the 2007-2008 financial crisis sent him back to the farm. After a holiday in Mauritius, he came up with the idea of building a rum distillery, and in 2013 the first drop of white rum emerged from his self-built stills.

Production & Style

While most distilleries use molasses, Mhoba produces single-origin agricole-style rum from pure sugarcane juice. Robert has built several pot stills himself and has never distilled on a still he did not construct.

Signature Style

Authentic, Earthy, Handmade
The flavor offers a pure, sugarcane-driven character with an earthy, authentic profile shaped by the self-built stills.
