Mount Gay Eclipse

A great rum at a great price. Next time I'll buy the 1.75L bottle.

A good value all rounder, not too sweet. Big on the banana and vanilla. Great value for below £20

The bottle that I have appears to be a little different than the bottle that's on this website. But I'm going to assume it's the same Rum. I enjoyed it when doing slow sipping shots oh, and I noticed a little difference in taste when I put it on the rocks. It seemed to bring out some hints of vanilla but I didn't notice before that. Overall it's a halfway decent rum. I would not use this as a mixer because it tastes fine as it is.

For a commercially available gold rum, this is the obvious choice. If you're in the supermarket, this is likely the best gold rum available to you for mixing.
Notes of caramel and a distant oak smoke with a hint of clove and allspice.

I like the aroma and taste. Good rum to swig straight but not too sip unless it’s on the rocks. Mixes well with Dr Pepper, coke and root beer, would recommend.

This is one of the rums that got me exploring the rum world. A lot better than the standard Bacardi's i drank before.

Any mount Gay rum is good this is a really nice Rum

This is where the Mount Gay journey begins. If you were to compare this rum to an aged premium rum, you would be disappointed, but when you compare it to the same price point of say an Appletons it stands up well. Smooth enough to drink straight or to mix with quality ginger and lime, of price is important than this rum has a lot to recommend it.

The nose is not complex. I get dry fruits, vanilla and some caramel with white oak.
The nose is not very intensive and spicy.
The taste is simple and a little bit sweet. I get vanilla, white oak, some sweetness and the spice.

Good rum for mixing, but too simple and spicy. If you like spicy rums, you could also try to sip it.
I would go for black barrel, it's also spicy but more complex.

Der Mount Gay Eclipse war mein Einstieg den ich durchaus pur geniessen konnte.
Preis Leistung top.

Inzwischen ist der Black Barrel und der XO meine bevorzugte Wahl wenn es um Mount Gay geht.

Zu erwähnen wäre das diese Brennerei meines Wissens in keines ihrer Produkte Zucker schüttet.

Hut Ab! Karma +100
