Mhoba Select Reserve French Cask Rum - 70cl
Mhoba Select Reserve French Cask Rum is a celebrated aged rum from South Africa's pioneering Mhoba Distillery in Mpumalanga. Made entirely from fresh sugarcane juice — never molasses — this rum is a pure agricole-style expression aged in French oak casks that previously held South African wine. The combination of fresh-pressed sugarcane and French oak imparts a distinctive grassy-vegetal character refined by elegant oak influence.
Founded by Robert Greaves in 2014, Mhoba is South Africa's first pure pot-still rum distillery and has rapidly become a cult favourite among rum connoisseurs globally. The distillery grows its own sugarcane on-site and processes it within hours of harvest — a level of vertical integration almost unheard of in modern rum production.
From Mhoba Distillery in Malelane, Mpumalanga, South Africa — a pioneering pure pot-still agricole-style rum producer.
A definitive premium aged sugarcane-juice rum — perfect for connoisseurs, contemplative tasting, or pairing with dark chocolate. Serve neat in a tulip glass at room temperature.
