MHOBA Strand 101, 50.5% ABV

The Mhoba rum, with a “funky” Jamaican spirit, is made from fresh Nkomazi cane juice grown at the Mhoba sugar estate in South Africa. This new version of Strand’s 101 reduced to 50.5% is a blend of Select Reserve Glass Cask Rum and Pot Stilled High Ester White Rum. The result is a wonderful balance between charred American oak with caramelized, smoky, and vanilla notes and a naturally sweet and bold rum.

Key Ingredients: Passion, time, love and attention, fermented and distilled pure sugarcane juice, crystalline water, and congeners from American oak staves. Nothing else!

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
