A Rare South African Cane‑Juice Rum with Peated Whisky Barrel Influence – Holmes Cay South Africa Mhoba SAWP 6 Year Old Single Cask Rum
Holmes Cay South Africa Mhoba SAWP 6 Year Old Single Cask Rum is a limited‑release bottling crafted from fresh‑pressed sugarcane juice at the Mhoba Rum Distillery in South Africa.

Craftsmanship
Sourced from fresh‑pressed cane juice, long‑fermented with wild yeast and distilled on custom pot stills, this expression captures the essence of Mhoba’s artisanal distilling. The six‑year maturation in peated whisky casks imparts smoky nuance and barrel depth, and only two casks were bottled for the U.S.—510 bottles in total—making this an ultra‑limited edition for collectors and connoisseurs.
Best Enjoyed
Serve neat in a tulip or tasting glass to allow the rich cane juice character and smoke to evolve. A single large ice cube can open further complexity. Pair with dark chocolate, rich tobacco leaf, or simply enjoy as a contemplative pour.
Experience the bold fusion of cane‑juice purity and peated whisky barrel maturation in Holmes Cay South Africa Mhoba SAWP 6 Year Old Single Cask Rum on Royal Batch – a rare and distinguished rum with daring flavor.
