had this rum recently

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.

Nose - Brown sugar, caramel, and ethanol.
Palate - Caramel, custard, and ethanol.
Finish - Molasses and...ethanol.
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.

Yummy, Mount Gay is a very good stuff for Cuba libre.

Goûté récemment lors d'une petite dégustation entre amis, nous étions accordés pour dire que ce rhum est à mélanger..

Au nez, il est assez sec et épicé. En bouche, c'est l'alcool qui prédomine.

A tester donc mais surtout en cocktails, Cuba Libre par exemple..

If you just want rum here you go.
Its a great mixer for a low price and my personal favorite to do some home made spicing. Even on the rocks its not bad and it dose not have that strong ethanol taste that you get with more budget rums but I wouldn't call this budget at all.
So if you're strapped for cash and need some love, she will always be on that bar shelf waiting.

Excellent for mixing with coke and not too expensive, but probably not great for sipping.

Feel happy if u live in a country, where they sell this in the Bacardy price area, coz it is much better. It can even be a sipper, if the standard is not that high (Parties, after the 10th beer, generally after 4 a.m.)

Eclipse has been the defacto mixer for regatta's since well before I could drink. I used to think it was the bee's knees, but now...I see it for what it really is. It's a decent mixer and sadly not really something you can drink on the rocks or neat

Good in mixed drinks, but sure you can find better than this at the same price.

Any Mount Gay rum is good, everything they make. The Eclipse can mix with anything. It's the go-to rum, and always on my shelf.

A little too rough to be a sipper, works great in all sorts of sweet run concoctions

One of the better cheap rums. Wouldn't buy this one again but it is good enough to make me want to try one of the higher end Mount Gay rums.
