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.

is what the label says for bottles shipped to the Caribbean. and they are right. that's how i drink this rum, and i always have a bottle around. great flavor, not sweet at all. this rum holds it's own in a cocktail and at the same time it can be drank straight IF it's ICE COLD with a twist of lime.

Great for Tiki drinks calling for a gold Barbados rum.

It's an okay rum for every day drinking. Nothing special but you can pick up some of the notes like floral but nothing else

Definitely not a rum I would buy again. Found it to sour for my liking.

Mount Gay Eclipse is a wonderful tasting rum - with great flavor from the oak barrels. Mount Gay is one the oldest rum distillery's and they have maintained the delicious flavor. Eclipse is a must in every bar

if you want a straight up rum mixer mount gay is a good starting point
adds more to a drink than a white rum would. but nothing too complex or needing spice

I prefer white rum in boat drinks but, for a Cuba Libre - this is my go to. It's got a nice flavour with a bit of a bourbon taste. Smooth drinking and flavourful as a mixer.

This is not a sipper for me and I don't rate it as one, I rate it based on its usage. Rum and coke at my place is served with Mt. Gay

Good rum better than captain Morgan or Bacardi. Good for mix drinks or with a splash of coke.

We have been drinking this for years and has served us well. Started making an effort to discover new rums in the last year, looking forward to trying many new rums.

a step above captain Morgan. Not a superior or top shelf rum, but very smooth and a pretty decent mixer, also not bad to drink on its own.
