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.

Basic rum, not too pricey. But for this price range there are better rums to buy.
There is a Nice balance between the oak And fruit tastes, But for some weird reason, i think the Smokeyness stands out, not in a good way. Feels a bit Sharp at the nose to. I wouldn't buy IT myself.

This is an excellent gold rum. This easily crushes any of the bacardi offerings and is not too much more. Any recipe that requires gold rum should have this. Looking forward to trying the bigger brother, the black barrel, hopefully it only builds on the solid flavor and body this rum is built from.

Yes, 40. Something my mom found from when my parents went to Curacao in the mid 1970's. No hint of oak but there was a sweet but slick feel that dried out nice on the finish. Quite enjoyable.

I think it is a great value. It has a great taste for the money and I am a fan of Mount Gay. I think they do an outstanding job and produce a good product.

It's age and smell - not to sipping, but the taste is very clean and the correct finish. Even closer to eight. MG Eclipse - the best standard in its class.

My go-to rum for a rum and Coke, eclipse is also useful for other mixed drinks. It's quite smooth and slightly complex without trying to hard. It's just good.

Cena úměrná kvalitě, chutný rum, v Crossu žádnou bídu typu Morgan totiž neprodávají.

Hard to really add anything anyone hasn't already said. Good for step up from a run in the mill Bacardi or Captain Morgan but probably not smooth enough for sipping neat for most, imho.
