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.

Drank this when learning to sail. Mount Gay is why I fell in love with rum.

My third bottle of rum ever. I did a bit of a mistake having XO first (which I loved) and Eclipse after so I was quite dissapointed. Even I prefer to sip this one is rather for mixing with coke. Still not a bad rum. Pale color, strong taste.

On the nose: molasses, sweetness, some honey with spices and oak, subtle nuts and chocolate, alcohol, overall pleasantly mild.
On the palate: sugar cane, spices, some nuts, brown sugar, pleasantly strong.
In the finish: oak, spices, molasses; long.
In der Nase: Melasse, Süße, etwas Honig mit Gewürzen und Eiche, dezent Nüsse und Schokolade, Alkohol, insgesamt angenehm mild.
Am Gaumen: Zuckerrohr, Gewürze, etwas Nüsse, brauner Zucker, angenehm kräftig.
Im Abgang: Eiche, Gewürze, Melasse; lang.

It’s a decent quality with a predictable spiced flavour. Perfect for anyone who wants to try rum. Nothing unique or interesting about it

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.

Wonderful with coke.....drinkable on it's own. You should never allow yourself to run out!
