Mount Gay Eclipse

Decent alternative mixer to add some character in your favourite rum cocktail. In that case I even dare adding a plus next to 5...(+)
Sipping it straight, preferably not to be considered as a premium choice.

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.

This is an excellent Rum for mixing. At about the same price mark the Appletons (VX Or Signature) and the Havana Club especial have more bolder more monoculture flavours but this has a bit more variety and presents very differently depending on what you last ate . Depending on the circumstances sometimes I can taste coconut in this, vanilla and baking spices. One of the better cheaper rums , excellent value for money or bang for your buck.

Not the best one, but not a bad choice. Cheaper one and not a bad taste

Not my favourite.
Maybe good for mixing with coke, but even for mixing, there are better alternatives

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.

Nice for mixing. Enjoy the flavor. Not as smooth as some but still pleasant after taste

This rum is made to be enjoyed in a dark soda. It is a good rum to share at family party since everybody will like. Nobody will adore it but nobody will hate it at the same time

I think I've outgrown this one. Used to rave about it but now I notice more the sharpness and its inability to sip on the rocks. Doesn't stop me from buying it though, still a good rum for the price if you're in the mood for rum and coke. I was getting quite a strong smell of alcohol the the other day while I still had some left. Opted for the Havana 7 instead (as per my last review)
I'm looking forward to trying the older Mount Gays, being the oldest rum name recorded in history and one of my first I'll always have a soft spot for MG.
I'm giving this a 6.5 but don't know how you do that with the "rate bottles" above ^^.
Cheers.

This smells like rum tastes like rum and it's is pritty good. When you think of pirates and the Caribbean or the royal navy this is what it tastes like. This is some good stuff.
