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.

Your review – you could include things like color, aroma, body, taste, finish, spice, smoothness… really anything you want! You can also share an optional picture of the drink (or better still - you enjoying it!) by attaching a photo below.
Hardly any flavor outside of a hefty oaky taste. More comparable to crown royal or some other variety of smooth rye/rye-whiskey. At best it's drinkable strictly because of how smooth it goes down.
Great taste, perfect on its own or with Coke. Good price too.
8/10 as a mixology rum
4/10 as a straight rum
Very unpleasant in nose, taste kind of synthetic. Yet works so well in drinks, never understood that.
Had it with a coke, wasn't harsh, but flowed with the coke quite well.
Light body and color. A bit harsh and hot. An okay mixer but nothing special as a sipper.
Para beberlo solo es un poco justo epro muy bueno para combinados.
Country of Origin:
Barbados
Bottle and distillery:
Flask-shaped, very utilitarian bottle which facilitates easy pouring and features a simple and attractive label design. Dating from 1703, Mount Gay is the oldest brand of rum in the world.
Glass:
Very light yellow-brown in color, similar to a cider. Thick legs are produced upon swirling.
Nose:
There is a strong astringency here which doesn’t bode well for a sipping rum. Underlying this is a thin current of brown sugar and oak.
Tongue:
After a moment of alcohol sting, a smoky oak flavor prevails, which effectively masks the slight brown sugar sweetness.
Finish:
Much smoother than one would expect given the harsh nose and simple flavor profile. There is a bit of pepper and oak going down, along with more smokiness, but the burn is almost non-existent.
Aftertaste:
Again, smoke and oak is what returns here. Not complex by any stretch, but consistent for sure.
Overall:
Not what I would recommend as a sipper, barring access to a better quality rum. However, if this is all you have on hand, then it will work in a pinch. This is far cry from bad, but it would likely work much more effectively as a mixer in a simple cocktail.

Quite sickly sweet smell.
"When sipped the rum does not exhibit much of these sickly sweet flavours. It’s just very heavy on the alcohol. ."
