had this rum recently

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.

One of the better cheap rums. Wouldn't buy this one again but it is good enough to make me want to try one of the higher end Mount Gay rums.

This is our go to for easy cocktails...usually serve with a slash of ginger ale and lots of lime.

My first rum from Barbados. Before mixing, had it on a rock with a slice of orange. I was nicely surprised! Eclipse is a fair mixer specially with lime-pergamon juice and yes was also a very tasty "dark and stormy". Great choice as a starter to rums more than just a cheap grocery store poor quality mixers.

Bit of burn, but of brown sugar, nothing else. Dull.

Disappointing. Can't drink it neat, it's a push to use for mixing, likely to end up in the drain tbh, won't ever buy again, but willing to try their higher end bottles

Ebben az árkategóriàban van jobb választás, pl: Santiago de Cuba anejo.

Definitely not a sipping rum. Can add some depth and flavor to a mixed drink.

Surprisingly light on the nose, I had a hard time picking up much of anything. Some harshness on the pallat with a light vanilla after taste and some burn.

Comprato alle barbados in vacanza e l'ho trovato molto piacevole ricomprato in italia e devo dire buon gusto ma diverso

This is the rum that got me started. Love mixing with Diet Coke. Great way to introduce rum.
