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.

When I first started drinking "rum" aka sailor jerry and Captain Morgan I kept thinking that it was supposed to taste sweeter and have way less bite from what I saw in the pirate movies. What I found was that most of the rums out there are very reprehensible tasting. Especially the most recognizable ones. When I tasted the sugar cane rum from Haiti it made sense why the pirates said it was sweet. Barbancourt 8 year to be precise. It was fucking magical because I just thought rum actually tasted like shit. But it turds out that I was drinking the wrong shit out of the butthole of life.

I like the aroma and taste. Good rum to swig straight but not too sip unless itโ€™s on the rocks. Mixes well with Dr Pepper, coke and root beer, would recommend.

Strangely inexpensive yet I can still remember having been mind-blown by this rum.

For me, this is a really solid rum. Maybe not the most exclusive option, but very affordable and an excellent inclusion to a cocktail. Holds a special place in my heart as a rum I first encountered and drank on the beaches of Barbados.
