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.

My BIL introduced this to me after he drank it in the Carribean. It's now his daily sip. It is not complex and will not make you say wow, but it is light, fresh, and enjoyable with no stray tastes. Is fine neat or on the rocks but finer mixed. I almost always have some in the house.

It's kinda like you mixed tapwater with alcohol, then decided to add more tapwater. Gets the job done, but no other good thing can be said about it.

Tasted 10/17/21 at Laka Lono in the form of a Daiquiri by Tommy, aka TommyDax
This rum makes the most mellow Daiquiri ever.
It does not deserve the name eclipse, as it is neither memorable nor singular.

Not much to this one. Light and gentle but nothing special.

Good introduction to golden rums. Very well balanced and quite smooth can taste that it's aged in whiskey barrels

Stings the nostrils but not too bad. Even body and taste compared to aroma. Light, sweet, little bite. Nice entry level rum. Great for mixing. If you sip it, use rocks.

Può andare bene in miscelazione o per qualche shot

A very forgettable rum. Not special in any way. But not terrible either.

A nice rum yes but much better in a cocktail than as an unfinished product
