Overview

The Shaldon is a bold unaged pot still rum bottled at 63% ABV, and the first time that a MHOBA Rum Distillery bottling has been imported to the United States. The expression is blended from two high ester marks, one single and one double distilled, from two distinct cane varietals grown on the farm surrounding the distillery. Hand-harvested cane is milled on MHOBA founder Robert Greaves’ custom-designed cane crusher. The fresh cane juice is then fermented for 28 days with wild airborne yeasts and distilled in the distillery’s custom pot stills before blending. It is named after the blend’s creator, distiller Shaldon Englebrecht.

“The Shaldon is an intense expression of sugarcane, showcasing robust and flavorful cuts from two different high ester marks,” says Greaves, “It is made with passion, time, love, and attention—fermented and distilled pure sugarcane juice and crystalline water. Nothing else.”

Tasting notes

Butterscotch and papaya on the nose with an explosion of fresh banana, creamy mango lassi and candied apple on the tongue. A finish of light treacle and creamy vanilla.
