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.

This rum has a decent amber colour for a lightly aged rum. It has a mild sweet smell, although it is too harsh to sip. That said, it does have a decent oak/ash rum flavour which is great for a light and easy rum and cola. As you can trust Mount Gay to make a pure (no added sugar/other) Barbadoes rum, this is good quality everyday mixer for your bar. Good affordable price point.

A smooth gold mixing rum, my standard for rum and coke.

Thia is not a premium rum to sip on. It is however a great rum to mix with gingerbeer or pepsi.

It is not a complex rum but if your having a party and your mixing your spirts with a chaser this is a good one for the job.

If you're served this in a pub you're lucky! A standard rum, but very tasty nonetheless

As the title would suggest this is my baseline for all rums. This was the first rum I found when I switched from drinking spiced rum to non-spiced. It has what I feel are subtle notes and nothing extravagant jumps out at you. I would recommend this rum to anyone who is new to rum drinking and should be a staple in anyone's liquor cabinet.

As far as standard mixing rums go this has to be up there with the best. It’s not too bad as a sipper either.

A good value all rounder, not too sweet. Big on the banana and vanilla. Great value for below Β£20

Want a nice gold rum for your collection and/or to shake some nice coktails? Get this one. Really smooth and as sweet as it should, you ll love using it. Tasting it neat, you can feel the alcohol a lot but that doesn't appear once you mix it with couple ingredients. Try it in a mai tai and you ll be surprised how good it blends.
