LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The gold standard for gold rum. It is a technical triumph of balance—light enough for mixing but possessing an aromatic complexity that rewards those who pay attention.

The Library Note

With a lineage dating back to 1703, Mount Gay is the world's oldest commercial rum distillery. 'Eclipse' was named in honor of the passage of Halley's Comet and a total solar eclipse in 1910. It is the traditional spirit of sailors and the definitive expression of Barbados craftsmanship.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Distinctive floral and fruity notes of apricot and banana, with hints of vanilla and smoke.

THE PALATE

Light and sophisticated with notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and fresh orchard fruit.

THE FINISH

Clean and short with a warm, fruity linger.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'Bajan Rum Punch': 1 of sour (lime), 2 of sweet (syrup), 3 of strong (Mount Gay), 4 of weak (water/ice). A dash of bitters and nutmeg on top. It's the taste of the Caribbean in a glass.
