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.

I've found that this doesn't bring a ton of unique notes to the cocktails it's in, but it isn't bad. A bit of vanilla and molasses, but definitely dry. Not a good sipper.

I’ll order this one sometimes when the pickings are slim. Probably not bringing a bottle home though. Tasty enough when mixed into a nice fruity libation.

Smooth, good mixer. Can sip, but nothing extraordinary.

I would recommend this rum as a mixer, it has sweet and strong smell, simple spicy fruity feeling on mid palate with tones of vanilla, quite biting end with alcohol burn. Good value for money.

I wouldn't put this in a glass on its own, but this is a great choice for a tropical drink. Some mango, passion fruit, lime and simple syrup with this is our idea of a Friday night week ender. It's got enough spice and originality to keep its head up in front of fruit juices.

Very good for a middle of the road rum. Much better than the other runs in its class.

This rum is simply put the go to rum for all occasions. Great nose. Tastes palate of caramel warm spices and a hot finish.

Value for sure

A good rum that makes a great mixer. No distinct flavors. Mild alcohol scent. Slight syrupy after taste.
