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.

This was the rum that got me drinking darker rum. Not the best but a good mixing rum and can be used on the rocks when not being picky. Good mixer with a lot of sugar.

Very strong ethalnol taste and smell is overlapping everything other. Maybe in aftertaste some hits of vanilla and sugar, but for me definitelly good for mixing only.

This rum was, I believe, the fourth rum I had every purchased. Captain Morgan, Bacardi Silver, Appleton being the previous list in successive order.
This rum was on the harsh side with some burn. Entry level mixing rum that shouldn't be enjoyed neat. 2 years doesn't do much aged in ex bourbon barrels to bring out smoothness and flavor to afford this rum to be other than a nary level sipper.

Lovely price and a good rum . A bit rough around the edges but if you are a mixer this is a good rum for you, ( suggestion next time you mix a rum and Coke Donny new way
2oz rum 2oz Coke 2ice cubes and the rest cold water in a whiskey glass ...perfection for any rum drinker who's not a sipper )

This is a solid rum for only $32can. Almost as good as the XO or black barrel ,I would serve this to everyone and it will be a staple in my cabinet. Like all Mount Gay rums ,I find it has a well balanced flavour that can be sipped or used in any cocktail.

Αξιοπρεπές εναλλακτικό μίξερ για να προσθέσετε κάποιο χαρακτήρα στο αγαπημένο σας κοκτέιλ με ρούμι. Δε θα έλεγα ότι είναι καλή επιλογή να το πιείτε straight, με πάγο ή έστω με φλούδα πορτοκαλιού.

Good rum that is well priced and delivers on flavor and aroma. Great with mixer, can drink it on ice but may be too much for some. I get this every so often when a sale comes around.
