MHOBA - FAQ PLASTIC - Vintage 2017 - 64.30%
Mhoba is a premium amber agricole rum, handcrafted in South Africa. This exceptional rum comes from a local variety of sugarcane called Nkomazi, carefully cultivated on the exclusive Mhoba farm, located in the heart of the Crocodile River valley, a region known for its unique terroir. The cane juice is fermented using a carefully balanced blend of local baker's yeast and indigenous wild yeasts, giving the rum complex and authentic aromas. Distillation is carried out in a traditional pot still specially designed by Robert Greaves, ensuring unmatched purity and aromatic richness.
Velier, founded in 1947 by Casimiro Chaix in Genoa, Italy, is a prestigious house specializing in the import and distribution of rare and fine wines and spirits. From its modest beginnings, the company evolved by partnering with passionate individuals like Arturo Lupi and later, in 1983, with Gian Luca Gargano, a visionary in the spirits field. Velier pioneered the import of New World wines as early as 1988 and from 1992 developed a refined selection of Single Malt casks and exceptional rums. In 2015, the brand launched Habitation Velier, an innovative project combining expertise and passion, in collaboration with the world’s best distillers. Each expression in this collection represents an original and exclusive project, highlighting unique characteristics, true "world firsts" for each partner distillery.
This limited edition marks the first exclusive collaboration between Velier and Mhoba. This 2017 vintage is made from sustainably grown Nkomazi cane juice on the Mhoba farm, without the use of pesticides, enzymes, or sweeteners, emphasizing the ecological and quality commitment of the production. The meticulous distillation by Robert Greaves in his high reflux stills guarantees an intense and refined aromatic expression. The rum is then carefully aged in old French oak barrels previously used for red wine, imparting elegant woody notes and rare structural complexity. This rum shows a remarkable level of 344.6 g/hLPA, reflecting its richness and gustatory power.
