Mount Gay Eclipse Amber Rum

Mount Gay Eclipse is the quintessential expression of the Barbadian rum tradition, serving as the benchmark for the estate’s signature style since its launch in 1910. Named in honour of the 1910 total solar eclipse, this amber rum is a masterful blend of single and double-distilled spirits aged for two years in charred American whiskey barrels. On the nose, it delivers an inviting and complex bouquet of ripe banana, apricot, and vanilla, nuanced by subtle smoky undertones. The palate is light-to-medium bodied and remarkably harmonious, showcasing flavours of toasted oak, honey, and summer fruits, leading to a crisp and clean finish. As the cornerstone of the world’s oldest commercial rum distillery, Eclipse is a highly versatile spirit, excelling both as a sophisticated mixer in classic cocktails and as a refreshing choice when served over ice.
