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.

Bought this thinking it was top shelf. It’s not bad, it has a decent aroma with buttery notes, but you can smell the alcohol and taste it. It’s just too harsh for me at 47%. It is a good standard rum if you can enjoy the alcohol or maybe mixed.

Lovely color and rich aroma for this class. Decent on the palate but if taken neat there is alcohol bite; fans could say it’s “peppery.” Better for mixing with ginger ale or ginger beer, especially when livened with a few drops of bitters.

Bought this after checking reviews on here, really pleasantly surprised. Not the best rum I've tried but very smooth and enjoyable. Could enjoy this every evening without getting bored.

Lighter amber hues and mild spice on the nose. It has a smooth character without being too intrusive on any one flavour or spice. Good mixing choice but can so nicely neat as well.

Decent enough. Bit too harsh as a sipper but a good mixer and really good price.

My middle-tier rum of choice. While it's certainly not one of the best rums out of there, it's definitely not nearly the worst either. Extremely aromatic, but if you're used to higher-class stuff you'll be let down when you drink it.

It burns a lot but has a good taste and is sippable. Might be better with an ice cube
