Mount Gay Eclipse

This might not be my first choice for a sipping rum, yet it's perfectly fine on the rocks. It works well in a variety of cocktails too. There's vanilla, banana, a bit of oak, and a general "rumminess" but nothing jumps out at you. Bonus points for being an honest, unadulterated rum.

The best thing that can be said about this rum is: it’ll help you forget your troubles!

As for the taste ... not good, not bad. Very middle of the road.

But if you’re travelling the Caribbean from your arm-chair, tumbler in hand, you’ll want to make a stop in Barbados.

I’m glad I went there, and perhaps I’ve been a bit hard on it, but I won’t be going back — there are just too many other exciting destinations out there for us intrepid drinkers!

Rum how it’s done for every day enjoyment. Light amber in colour with a light Demerara aroma from my favourite holiday destination. As my friend Max who is my rum sommelier, Mount Gay set the bar

Pour 2 drops of water in it and then be surprised of the effect.

This is our go to for easy cocktails...usually serve with a slash of ginger ale and lots of lime.

Its enjoyable neat or with a mixer, but not a stand out.

My first rum from Barbados. Before mixing, had it on a rock with a slice of orange. I was nicely surprised! Eclipse is a fair mixer specially with lime-pergamon juice and yes was also a very tasty "dark and stormy". Great choice as a starter to rums more than just a cheap grocery store poor quality mixers.

Bit of burn, but of brown sugar, nothing else. Dull.

Disappointing. Can't drink it neat, it's a push to use for mixing, likely to end up in the drain tbh, won't ever buy again, but willing to try their higher end bottles
