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.

Decent drinking rum. Not the best in the line, but still has a great caramel smooth taste that goes down well.
Funkar bra till drinkar. Ganska vas och spritglas.
Use it on people who don't appreciate rum and in cocktails.
This rum doenst have a real smell, the taste is very average.
Don't get me wrong it was ok but I had anticipated something really good.
Vůně zkvašeného ovoce, ale rozhodně příjemná. Jemná chuť, není příliš sladký. Takový nevýrazný.
Readily available and affordable gold rum. Fruity rum character with a hint of richness from the barrel aging. Makes a great complimentary rum in tiki drinks and for a wonderful take on a daiquiri (although I still prefer a white rum for the latter). Serviceable on the rocks, but a little thin bodied and lacking depth and complexity to really excel in that form. For what it is and what it's designed to be, it's quite good. Not a must have, but I'll likely buy this again.
Oak, some smoke
Very light, generic
Somewhat astringent but remains pleasant
This should be in everyone's liquor cabinet. Nice with ice or a splash of water and a great mixing rum.

The word mellow comes to mind, a hint of oak and the distinct presence of the molasses origins. I find it good enough to drink neat when some of my other favourites have evaporated in my rum cabinet. Probably best served with coke and lime. Mount Gay Extra old is a much better sipper's choice.
