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.

Cheap and cheerful, a bit too spirity for neat drinking, but mixes well
Medicinal, hay, crispy, little bit of fudge, fresh, bit of caramel, chocolate
Being new to this I give my own opinion, love this rum and most probably the 1st one I tried neat. Love the taste neat and with a mixer.

Lots of flavour, I use mount gay to cook with, brings loads of flavour to the dish
its a good mixer. Sipping not so much. Its not that it tastes bad its just basic with no complexity.

Rhum aux beaux reflets dorés, a l'arôme discret et léger en bouche. Plutôt agréable. Peu de longueur en bouche.

A great deal! Truly versatile. Recommended as an everyday (within reason) drinker and perfect entry level rum.

Bought in supermarket, would buy again but wouldn't actively look for it. Smooth enough for a and didn't have any sharp aftertaste.

This will due in a pinch for on the rocks imbibing. Not something i would let my friends drink unless as a mixer with juice or cola.

Picked up a bottle of this at the Mount Gay site during a visit in the early 90's IIRC - sat unopened in my cupboard until maybe a year ago before I finally tried it. Seemed ok, less burn than I expected, less body also, but still pleasant enough to sip though better suited to cocktails - to be fair I would like to grab a new bottle to compare against as I cannot really vouch for the storage over the years.
