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.

Lovely color and rich aroma for this class. Decent on the palate but if taken neat there is alcohol bite; fans could say itโ€™s โ€œpeppery.โ€ Better for mixing with ginger ale or ginger beer, especially when livened with a few drops of bitters.

A very forgettable golden mixing rum. Better can be found at a lesser price

This is decent straight and a great mixer for the price point there are other rums I would pick up over this every time.

My entry to the "real" rum world, brilliant with tropical fruit juice or in a Cuba Libre

While this will improve your drinks compared to the Bacardi Superior, there is not much to drewl about.

This is another Barbados rum that is worth the money. It's not too sweet, and it is just smooth enough to enjoy on the rocks. Makes a great drink mixed with Vernor's ginger ale.

This is my go too rum. Its good with cola or fruity drinks. Too harsh for sipping or on the rocks with a lime twist. This is a far superior choice to any Bacardi offering for every day use. Unfortunate what im hearing about the companys problems in Barbados.

I had higher hopes for this rum, it was harsher than I expected but it is still good as a mixing rum

Perhaps mixing rum.

On the rocks tastes like nothing but alcohol. Almost no flavor, which is not what I expected from a non-white rum. Very fire-y. So-so with cola.
