Expert description

Mhoba White Pot Stilled is a White Pure Single Rum from South Africa, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice on handmade pot stills and unaged, bottled at 43%.

The rum comes from Mhoba Rum Distillery in Mpumalanga. After a 7 to 10 day fermentation with standard baker's yeast and no temperature control, the rum is distilled on the distillery's handmade pot stills, after which the distillate is selected and diluted with local pure crystalline water before hand bottling. Without cask maturation, White Pot Stilled shows sugarcane's pure, agricole-like character in its most unprocessed form.
