MHOBA Umbila Bourbon cask New Vibrations

$188.00

The Mhoba distillery crafts rums using juice from the local sugarcane variety called “nkomazi.” Aged in a barrel that previously held bourbon from Woodford Reserve, this version named Umbila (corn in siswati) reveals a character that is simultaneously complex, powerful, and heady. Venturing into ever more exotic, smoky, and mineral paths, its aromatic and gustatory palette demonstrates great tonal consistency and unwavering self-assuredness.

Tasting Notes


Colour
: Old gold.

Nose : Broad, deep. At first scent, a fine layer of salted caramel covers the aromatic palette. However, it quickly becomes more smoky (rubber), heady (iris, tuberose), and spicy. With aeration, liqueur-like and oxidative flavors of juice and sugarcane shine with their extroverted nature.

Palate : Clear, lively. Both fruity (pear, apple), lemony, and vanilla, the palate entry is also infused (chamomile). More exotic in its fruitiness (pineapple, banana, coconut), the mid-palate also reveals itself as profoundly mineral (schist, manganese).

Finish : Long, rich. At the start of the finish, flavors of slightly burnt sugarcane, cinnamon, and dried fruits (roasted nuts, date) compete in intensity with floral notes (iris concrete, lily) that undeniably echo the initial scent. Powdery, the aftertaste is divinely chocolatey and roasted (chicory).
