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.

Definitely not a rum I would buy again. Found it to sour for my liking.

I was introduced to this when I was younger from my uncle who used to take surf trips to Barbados. He recommended I try it with ginger ale and a lime which soon after became my favorite drink. Years later still a great sweetness to this rum and I prefer to mix it rather than drink it neat or on the rocks. Good value and better than any white, gold, or spiced generic rum like Captain Morgan or Bacardi.

Bought this thinking it was top shelf. It’s not bad, it has a decent aroma with buttery notes, but you can smell the alcohol and taste it. It’s just too harsh for me at 47%. It is a good standard rum if you can enjoy the alcohol or maybe mixed.

Nej den duger inte som avec.
Dock passar den mycket bra att blanda drink på. Då är den faktiskt perfekt! Bättre än många andra!
Den är alltså svår att sätta betyg på. 3:a som avec och 7:a till drink, så det får bli en 5:a.

To alcohol forward for me... Not a sipper...prefer Gosling for the price point.

Perhaps it's a good cocktail mixer, but for me there's nothing distinguishable that worths writing about.

Surprisingly light on the nose, I had a hard time picking up much of anything. Some harshness on the pallat with a light vanilla after taste and some burn.

I've found that this doesn't bring a ton of unique notes to the cocktails it's in, but it isn't bad. A bit of vanilla and molasses, but definitely dry. Not a good sipper.
