Mount Gay Eclipse

Not over bearing or bland, just a good character. Soft nose, mellow on the tongue, vanilla notes and well mannered. I use it for as a core rum for tiki drinks

Very sippable. Hardly any burn. Really enjoyed my first experience with this one.

Good rum for everyday.
Along the lines of your Sailor Jerry rums.

Good classic bajan flavor at a reasonable price but lacks the depth of other similar rums in its pricepoint (e.g. Doorly's). A serviceable if not somewhat understated mixer, very good in Boston Rum Punch.

This rum is really like the swiss army knife of rums. If you want an okay sipper, this will do just fine, with some good flavors to go with a fairly strong alcohol burn. It won't blow you away, but it's also perfectly manageable.

If you're more of the mixing type, this rum is great for that. Since it's not overly expensive, you can dump whatever you want on it with a guilt free conscience, knowing that you're not watering down an exclusive vintage. At the same time, because it does have some good flavor, it adds some character to whatever drink you put it in.

For anyone looking for a middle ground rum at a decent price, this could definitely fit the bill.

N- Pressed orange juice, pleasantly fruity with molasses and toasted oak at a distant. Spices and eucalyptus with minty comes along. Full and smog-y that remains thick and relatively bold without being too sweet. Smogs building up and stays creamy with vanilla and chocolate. (85/19)

P- Mineral-lic with subtle coastal breeze. Caramelized orange but singular. Can be better but feel wee boring and flattened by the dilution, 43% or 46% might elevate and enhance the flavour better. (83/17)

F- Medium, lasting peppery with dry mouthfeel. But again, were restricted and light. (83/17)

B/B- 84/18 Good, simple and relaxing rum nonetheless. Will drown with any sizes of ice.

When I was young, I was taken aside by an older friend who introduced me to Mount Gay Eclipse as a quality alternative to Bacardi. It is a good, solid quality rum, worth keeping around for mixed drinks made with rum. I’ve moved on to greasipping rums, but will always have a soft spot for Mount Gay Eclipse.

Want a nice gold rum for your collection and/or to shake some nice coktails? Get this one. Really smooth and as sweet as it should, you ll love using it. Tasting it neat, you can feel the alcohol a lot but that doesn't appear once you mix it with couple ingredients. Try it in a mai tai and you ll be surprised how good it blends.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I like it but found the taste underwhelming and not that remarkable
