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.

Hard to really add anything anyone hasn't already said. Good for step up from a run in the mill Bacardi or Captain Morgan but probably not smooth enough for sipping neat for most, imho.

Great for Tiki drinks calling for a gold Barbados rum.

It's an okay rum for every day drinking. Nothing special but you can pick up some of the notes like floral but nothing else

Definitely not a rum I would buy again. Found it to sour for my liking.

Mount Gay Eclipse is a wonderful tasting rum - with great flavor from the oak barrels. Mount Gay is one the oldest rum distillery's and they have maintained the delicious flavor. Eclipse is a must in every bar

if you want a straight up rum mixer mount gay is a good starting point
adds more to a drink than a white rum would. but nothing too complex or needing spice

I prefer white rum in boat drinks but, for a Cuba Libre - this is my go to. It's got a nice flavour with a bit of a bourbon taste. Smooth drinking and flavourful as a mixer.
This is not a sipper for me and I don't rate it as one, I rate it based on its usage. Rum and coke at my place is served with Mt. Gay
Good rum better than captain Morgan or Bacardi. Good for mix drinks or with a splash of coke.

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.
I'll start off saying I had greater expectations and that lead me to feel more disappointed than I should probably have been. For some reason I thought it will be close to otherwise 4 times more expensive XO. Why, I don't really know. I guess, I just *wanted* it to be close. And, of course, it ain't. It's rough, all right. Without a dash of water, it simply burns your throat. And that's almost all you'd get. Unlike in other instances, where afterburn is actually pleasing, this one is not and is simply overwhelming. I could not taste or smell much else, as it was the heat that was all over my mouth and nostrils. Dash of water kind of soften things a bit, but still the experience was not much of a joy for me. There are way more complex options in this price range, check my 6 and 7's for few better ideas.
