  Mhoba American Oak Aged Pure Single South Africa Rum 70 cl 43%

  Item no.: 22227865417-19125

  From Mpumalanga in South Africa comes a rum that smells more of a bonfire than a Caribbean beach. Mhoba does things its own, very hands-on way.

  Expert description

  Mhoba American Oak Aged is a Pure Single Rum from South Africa, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice in agricole style and matured in American oak, bottled at 43%.

  The rum comes from Mhoba Rum Distillery in Mpumalanga, founded by Robert Greaves, whose family has grown sugarcane at the foot of the Makhonwja mountains since the 1980s. Mhoba distils on a small scale directly from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, giving a raw, earthy starting point. The rum is first matured in large glass demijohns with charred and cut American oak staves, before being moved to casks from South African whisky for a second maturation period.

  Mhoba Bushfire Single Estate Sugercane South Africa Rum 70 cl 55%

  Item no.: 222255548879-9996321

  Inspired by the South African braai tradition, Mhoba matures its Bushfire on staves of local bushwood, so the smoke from the fire follows all the way into the bottle.

  Expert Description

  Mhoba Bushfire is a South African Single Estate Rum made from 100% fermented sugarcane juice and bottled at 55%.

  Behind the bottle stands the Mhoba Rum Distillery in the Onderberg district of Mpumalanga, founded by Robert Greaves, whose family has grown sugarcane at the foot of the Makhonjwa Mountains since the 1980s. The entire process takes place on their own land, from growing organic sugarcane to fermentation, pot still distillation and hand-filling the bottle. Bushfire is a small batch release, where the rum matures on staves split from local sickle bush, a method inspired by the South African braai tradition, giving the rum its characteristic smoky profile.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Smoky fire, a hint of bacon and dry wood.

  Palate

  Powerful and roasted with meaty, smoky notes and a warm spiciness.

  Long, warm and smoky finish reminiscent of a dying campfire.

  Mhoba Franky's Pineapple Pure Single South Africa Rum 70 cl 43%

  Item no.: 22227865417-19129

  Pineapple, both grilled and fresh, combined with Mhoba's own rum. Franky's Pineapple is the distillery's South African take on a tropical infusion.

  Expert description

  Mhoba Franky's Pineapple is a Pure Single Rum from South Africa, a blend of Glass Cask rum and two white pot stilled rums infused with grilled and fresh Natal Queen pineapples, bottled at 43%.

  The rum comes from Mhoba Rum Distillery in Mpumalanga. Instead of adding artificial pineapple flavour, the distillery separately infuses the rum with both grilled and fresh pineapples of the local Natal Queen variety, giving two distinct layers of fruit character, the sweeter, caramelised grilled note and the sharper, juicy fresh note.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Sweet pineapple, young wood and grilled fruit, with caramel and a hint of smoke.

  Palate

  Fruity with grilled pineapple and earthy notes, supported by woody character and a light sweetness that doesn't overpower the rum's own character.

  Finish

  Long and creamy, with lingering pineapple sweetness.

  Distillery: Mhoba

  Type: Pure Single Rum

  Size: 70 CL

  Mhoba Select Reserve Glass Cask Pure Single South Africa Rum 70 cl 60%

  Item no.: 22227865417-19127

  Glass demijohns filled with charred oak staves sound like a homemade solution. At Mhoba, it's the very method behind one of South Africa's most acclaimed rum expressions.

  Expert description

  Mhoba Select Reserve Glass Cask is a Pure Single Rum from South Africa, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice and matured over 2 years on charred American oak staves in large glass demijohns, bottled at 60%.

  The rum comes from Mhoba Rum Distillery in Mpumalanga. Instead of traditional oak casks, Mhoba uses large glass demijohns filled with virgin American oak staves that are cut and charred over wood coals, a method that gives intense contact between spirit and wood without the cask's own breathing. The result is more balanced and refined than the house's American Oak Aged, yet still with a clear, powerful oak character.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Smoky American oak and brown sugar, with sweet, almost bourbon-like notes of caramelised sugar, vanilla and ripe fruit.

  Palate

  Mild heat with warm butterscotch pudding, muscovado sugar and smoked pecan pie, with a gradually growing coffee and cocoa character.

  Finish

  Long, with dry notes of charred oak, toffee, cola and a hint of wild African honey.

  Did you know?

  The method of charring oak staves over wood coals instead of using finished casks is unique to Mhoba and gives the distillery full control over how much and how the wood influences the rum.
