    • Well integrated high ABV
    • Rich chocolate and spice notes
    • Excellent value for cocktails

    Brown sugar and chocolate take center stage in this robust Navy Strength Mount Gay, complemented by banana and caramel on the nose and a peppery, spicy kick to finish. The 57.1% ABV is surprisingly well integrated, inviting both sipping and mixing. Explore if you enjoy woody, full-bodied Bajan rums that deliver quality at a fair price.

    "The nose is quite musky. Wood and old cardboard mainly, not as horrid as it sounds, but admittedly not pleasing. There are also distant notes of banana and coal smoke. Charred wood and honey mainly present on the palate. Dark chocolate and leather also hanging around. The finish is a medium in length and keeps the charred wood and chocolate notes from the palate. Overall, it's not the best thing I've tried from Mount Gay. Very woody and serious. Was fun to try a more robust Eclipse though. I'd say its slightly better than the original."

    "Reminds me a bit of Hamilton 151. Slight pepper on the finish. Not a lot of burn for such a high ABV. Nose is sugar, woody, alcohol. A bit of banana and other typical fruit. Really well balanced."
