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.

Squeeze a healthy dose of fresh lime in this, add some ice, and you've got a lovely drink. Also good with cola. Mellow enough but with decent flavor and bite to remain drinkable after tasting better things out there. A good introductory rum, but nothing to go back for outside of its ubiquity.

For a true, West Indian rum punch: lime, raw sugar, nutmeg and proprietary additions. This is meant only with affection, and is not a slight at all.

Not a sipper by any stretch, but this is the only rum I want for my homemade concoction.

This might not be my first choice for a sipping rum, yet it's perfectly fine on the rocks. It works well in a variety of cocktails too. There's vanilla, banana, a bit of oak, and a general "rumminess" but nothing jumps out at you. Bonus points for being an honest, unadulterated rum.

The best thing that can be said about this rum is: it’ll help you forget your troubles!

As for the taste ... not good, not bad. Very middle of the road.

But if you’re travelling the Caribbean from your arm-chair, tumbler in hand, you’ll want to make a stop in Barbados.

I’m glad I went there, and perhaps I’ve been a bit hard on it, but I won’t be going back — there are just too many other exciting destinations out there for us intrepid drinkers!

Rum how it’s done for every day enjoyment. Light amber in colour with a light Demerara aroma from my favourite holiday destination. As my friend Max who is my rum sommelier, Mount Gay set the bar

Pour 2 drops of water in it and then be surprised of the effect.

Its enjoyable neat or with a mixer, but not a stand out.

My first rum from Barbados. Before mixing, had it on a rock with a slice of orange. I was nicely surprised! Eclipse is a fair mixer specially with lime-pergamon juice and yes was also a very tasty "dark and stormy". Great choice as a starter to rums more than just a cheap grocery store poor quality mixers.
