Mount Gay Eclipse

Used to be my staple rum along with the Appletons V/X , great mixer and pretty good value for money. Too harsh for my palette to drink neat , but very good with both cola and ginger beer.

Nice rum

Smooth and very soft, honey, peaches, apricot and mango. Fruity and little bit alcoholic, rum of good quality for golden rum.

Exactly what I look for in a great rum to mix. I don't generally drink rum straight so this really works for me. Good rum nose, with hints of vanilla but can seem harsh by itself. Makes a great monitor or rum punch...

I generally drink it over ice with a splash of water, but a good choice for mixed drinks too. One of the best in it's price range and worth the few dollars more than some lesser runs.

As a Sailor, I am partial to Mount Gay. For me it is a drink that should reside in every bar and rum owners bar.
Is it the best rum. No not by far! But for me it is a "standard", something by which you can judge and rate other rums by.
At first your nose will pick up a soft floral bouquet, then hit by spices. I find the taste rather smooth to start with then eclipsed by spice and flavor.

a very easy to drink rum, smooth flavour,nice with ice or coke and a slice of lime.

is what the label says for bottles shipped to the Caribbean. and they are right. that's how i drink this rum, and i always have a bottle around. great flavor, not sweet at all. this rum holds it's own in a cocktail and at the same time it can be drank straight IF it's ICE COLD with a twist of lime.

It's age and smell - not to sipping, but the taste is very clean and the correct finish. Even closer to eight. MG Eclipse - the best standard in its class.

This rhum is very nice! A little too dry for me! Enjoy!
