This rum comes to us by way of Mhoba, the South African rum distiller. They produce fresh pressed cane juice rum from their small sugar estate. This is a blend of their Glass Cask Rum and two different Pot Stilled rums that have been infused with fresh and seared Natal Queen Pineapple.

This is a first for me, not being a fan of a Mhoba product but this just misses the mark for me. Young green woodnotes, a very bitter and astringent char flavor, and an offputting acidic finish make for a product that I do not find enjoyable. I know there are some out there who like this, but its not for me.
