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 is my go to rum and coke. Not a sipper.
If I see this at the bar I'll take it over the regular Captain Morgan or Bacardi Gold that seems to be the other options in most UK bars.
You really can't go wrong, this is a god rum for mixing and straight up

A go-to rum when at a bar with a small selection. A big step up from the majority of the popular rums that are usually found in the same venues at a similar price.

A very forgettable golden mixing rum. Better can be found at a lesser price

This is decent straight and a great mixer for the price point there are other rums I would pick up over this every time.

My entry to the "real" rum world, brilliant with tropical fruit juice or in a Cuba Libre

While this will improve your drinks compared to the Bacardi Superior, there is not much to drewl about.

Sharp taste reminiscent of Jamaican rum. Not my taste, as not sweet enough with off flavour.
