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.

Guter Rum zum Mixen. Cuba Libre Deluxe. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen

The best value on an average supermarket shelf. I enjoy straight up but with a mixer sets a very high bar. Great to keep in the cabinet!

This was the rum that got me drinking darker rum. Not the best but a good mixing rum and can be used on the rocks when not being picky. Good mixer with a lot of sugar.

My go to mixer. Great with coca cola, ginger ale sprite and the like. Mixes well with practically anything. I've tried many rums over the years, but Mount Gay Eclipse is always what I return to for a great mixer.

A smooth gold mixing rum, my standard for rum and coke.

Thia is not a premium rum to sip on. It is however a great rum to mix with gingerbeer or pepsi.
It is not a complex rum but if your having a party and your mixing your spirts with a chaser this is a good one for the job.

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!
rhum plutôt dédié cocktail, passe-partout, note épicée

Everyone seems to rave about mount gay, it's found in all the bars, bit having tried it, I'd say it's not that great. Don't like the spice balance used, not a fan of the flavour, there are plenty of other rims I'd pick up before this.
