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.

An unremarkable light-bodied rum. Would not use for anything other than mixed drinks and I prefer Appleton VX for that anyways.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Barbados
Aroma: Vůně je suchá, nevýrazná, s vanilkou a hřebíčkem. Lihová, nevyzrálá, snad ještě zaznamenávám citrusy. (72 b)
Chuť: Hm...tak blbě nejen voní, ale i chutná. Citrusy, nakyslost, suchost, dřevnatost a seno. (72 b)
Body: 72/100
Shrnutí: Ochutnáno při posezení s kamarádem v českolipském Baru/Kavárně Kocour. Je to takové nijaké, dřevité, hodně slabý zážitek, ale rum to asi připomíná. To v Božkově umějí z náhražek udělat lepší pití.

This rum is an under-achiever. It's only mediocre, with no remarkable qualities to speak of. Regardless of what it costs where you live, you can find something better for the same price. There is nothing offensive about it, unless you're offended by blandness.

I was a bit disappointed when i first tasted this one but have found that it´s good in cocktails.

this very high rating is for mixing, it makes good rum & coke or daiquiri, of course neat is so so,
a 1 liter bottle costed me 29,25 euro so it s a mixer (and really a very good one)

Drinkable on its own, but not made for that. Works good in a Rum Punch.

This is really good neat. Sweet. It's also good as a mixer. Really enjoyed this one.

Let's be honest, it's a very cheap rum, but as a mixer it's actually decent for what it is

Sweet nose that is barely there on the palate, more alcohol than anything else. Had the Eclipse after a tour of the distillery.

This is a good rum for cocktails without any flaws but it won't stand out too much. Often a good value but not something to seek out. ...
