Mount Gay Eclipse rum

Mount Gay Eclipse

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.

Einer meiner Top 3 Rums zum Mischen. Pur ist man beim XO besser aufgehoben.

Redelijke rum. Weinig diepgang in de smaken. Maar wel lekker met Cola.

Not over bearing or bland, just a good character. Soft nose, mellow on the tongue, vanilla notes and well mannered. I use it for as a core rum for tiki drinks

Very sippable. Hardly any burn. Really enjoyed my first experience with this one.

Good rum for everyday.
Along the lines of your Sailor Jerry rums.

Good classic bajan flavor at a reasonable price but lacks the depth of other similar rums in its pricepoint (e.g. Doorly's). A serviceable if not somewhat understated mixer, very good in Boston Rum Punch.

This rum is really like the swiss army knife of rums. If you want an okay sipper, this will do just fine, with some good flavors to go with a fairly strong alcohol burn. It won't blow you away, but it's also perfectly manageable.

If you're more of the mixing type, this rum is great for that. Since it's not overly expensive, you can dump whatever you want on it with a guilt free conscience, knowing that you're not watering down an exclusive vintage. At the same time, because it does have some good flavor, it adds some character to whatever drink you put it in.

For anyone looking for a middle ground rum at a decent price, this could definitely fit the bill.
