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.

Pretty much in the middle. I wanted to just try it and i did. I wont repeat it but i also didnt complain much.
It's kinda like you mixed tapwater with alcohol, then decided to add more tapwater. Gets the job done, but no other good thing can be said about it.
Limited rum options out here in the sticks, but saw Tesco will deliver this for Β£17.50. Wanted a couple of options to have ready for catching up around the campfire as the summer rolls on.
Smell is mild, faintly of glue. Brown sugar.
Taste is subtle. Much less fiery than I expected, considering it's only had 2 years in the barrel. Again brown sugar and glue, with the finish emphasis on the sugar, with a bit of the fiery burn.
Happily palatable, if a little bland. I'll be happy to pass round the fire, though for a few pounds more, Havana Club 7 is a more likely repeat purchase for those occasions.
Bought a bottle as I had read some good reviews. Works good as a mixer (I used Mexican Coca Cola with cane sugar) but not a good sipper. Straight it had a medicine aftertaste.
This is the one that started me off. I used to work in a bottle shop and take 2 or 3 bottles of this home a week. But now, I find it overly commercial and insipid. Best used for mixing. Probably should be a 4 but as it led to the wonderful world of rums, maybe a 4!
There's many other cheaper lightly aged mixers better than this. I bought one bottle to try and it will be my last. A bit harsh and little flavor. Suitable as a base mixer but don't go seeking this rum.
For the same job get Appleton Signature ot Plantation 3 Star.
Nothing great to write home about but perfectly drinkable - pay a little more and go for the Black Barrel
Redelijke rum. Weinig diepgang in de smaken. Maar wel lekker met Cola.
Sharp taste reminiscent of Jamaican rum. Not my taste, as not sweet enough with off flavour.

Quite sickly sweet smell.
"When sipped the rum does not exhibit much of these sickly sweet flavours. Itβs just very heavy on the alcohol. ."

I think this one crosses the line from being brash to being abrasive. In terms of flavor and aroma, there's nothing bad aside from the strong alcohol presence, but there isn't anything particularly good. And that's pretty much the same for the rum as a whole: it's definitely not bad, but it isn't really good either. You certainly do worse, but you could do a lot better too.
