Mhoba 2020 Single Cask Wr1 "Smokey"
Description
Mhoba 2020 Single Cask Wr1 "Smokey"
A single-cask Mhoba rum with a bolder, smokier edge, selected from the distillery's distinctive Lowveld cane-juice spirit.
Produced from a combination of single and double distillations and matured in a bourbon cask for just under four years, WR1 'Smokey' shows Mhoba's farm-to-bottle identity in a darker register. The cane juice remains vivid and expressive, but the cask and the bottling's smoky tone add extra savoury weight and structure.
