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.

My third bottle of rum ever. I did a bit of a mistake having XO first (which I loved) and Eclipse after so I was quite dissapointed. Even I prefer to sip this one is rather for mixing with coke. Still not a bad rum. Pale color, strong taste.

It's OK and that's about it. Certainly passable as a sipper. As a mixer it's OK also. Gave it a 6 because you can't give a 6.5 and it's not deserving of a seven. As others have said it's just a good basic rum. Certainly an excellent choice as an intro for new rum drinkers instead of Bacardi or Captain Morgan

It is not a rum to drink straight up but suitable for mix (Cuba libre for me) and its nice spices notes with its fair price make it a nice improvement to the usual supermarket rum we often use for cocktails

Perfect rum for the Cuba Libre...slight buzz, but enjoyable...Basically a mixer...

Jeg har lige været på cruise og der var vi blandt andet på Barbados og der var jeg på besøg på Mount Gay destilleriet.
Der var der mulighed for at smage på flere af deres forskellige rom og denne rom er meget ung og har smags noter af mango, fersken og vanilje.
En rom der vil egne sig godt i rumpunch.

Trying to find a better go to rum than Bacardi. This is now my go to rum for the price.

It's a good rum but I would't call it a 7. It's a step up from the commercial grade mixers. I can say at least MG is making an effort. It's nice to taste fruit as opposed to the gasoline finish of the other Gold rums in this price range.

A nice tipple that lacks 'something'. I can't quite put my finger on it but it lacks a bit of depth. Nice all rounder but a little bland.

Smooth and very soft, honey, peaches, apricot and mango. Fruity and little bit alcoholic, rum of good quality for golden rum.

Tried this at a local bar as a sipper. Presentation is mild due to its lack of aging. I usually take a single ice cube with my sipping rum but this needed a couple to reduce the burn. Not a bad sipping rum in a pinch.
