Mount Gay Eclipse rum

Mount Gay Eclipse

Barbados | Gold | 40% ABV

Mount Gay Eclipse rum is produced from molasses that is double distilled and aged up to 2 years in white Kentucky oak ex bourbon barrels.

Mount Gay is the oldest existing rum brand in the world, with it's oldest surviving deed being from 1703. The company developed the use of traditional double copper pot stills, a process that has been in continuous use by Mount Gay ever since its founding. The company's namesake Sir John Gay Alleyne was a good friend of John Sober who purchased the then Mount Gilboa distilleries in 1747.

What can I say, Eclipse is the go-to general rum for a quick rum and cola drink, mixing cocktails for the ladies, or just relaxing on the deck with some ice and soda. I don't generally sip it as it does not have the deep flavors or other rums, but for this range, we keep it stocked regularly.

Goes down nice smooth mixing rum full of flavours for sipping can be little harsh

Light body, good taste both warm and chilled. Not a bad option for under $20.

Not sharp and not soft, spices are in good balance.

Exactly what I look for in a great rum to mix. I don't generally drink rum straight so this really works for me. Good rum nose, with hints of vanilla but can seem harsh by itself. Makes a great monitor or rum punch...

My go-to rum for a rum and Coke, eclipse is also useful for other mixed drinks. It's quite smooth and slightly complex without trying to hard. It's just good.

This is my go too rum. Its good with cola or fruity drinks. Too harsh for sipping or on the rocks with a lime twist. This is a far superior choice to any Bacardi offering for every day use. Unfortunate what im hearing about the companys problems in Barbados.

Perfect rum for the Cuba Libre...slight buzz, but enjoyable...Basically a mixer...

This is a nice rum for mixed drinks. Adds its own flavour to drinks. Not really good enough to drink on its own, but still has a great taste.

I prefer white rum in boat drinks but, for a Cuba Libre - this is my go to. It's got a nice flavour with a bit of a bourbon taste. Smooth drinking and flavourful as a mixer.

This is not a sipper for me and I don't rate it as one, I rate it based on its usage. Rum and coke at my place is served with Mt. Gay
