Mount Gay Eclipse

 This is one of the rums I have probably had the most of over time. A rum developed in 1911 and used in many mixers, which is where i learned about it in my teens way back. Not a super good sipper when you're used to the better Barbadian rums, but a very good choice in mixers. Have many memories both good and bad about this rum 🤣 Many a hangover have been traced back to this particular rum.

 Neutral alcohol with rum notes. Suitable for cola, but there are better ones. Characterless supermarket rum.

 JoA beautiful base distillate. Has something of pastry with light fruity notes. But not yet harmonious. I'm used to better from English distilleries. Good value for money. Very good for mixing.

 The nose is a bit sharp but past that there are some pleasant floral notes along with some generic wood, vanilla stuff. The palate is quite sweet but light in other notes. More vanilla and oak from the nose. A touch of smoke and ginger on the finish though it doesn't hang around for long. It's not unpleasant and you can see how with a bit more time this will become something like Mount Gay Black Barrel. It's not there yet though. Too much young, industrial tasting column still lightness going on. Cheap though.

 Well this is ok. Pretty mild. Other stuff from Barbados are better for beginners. Its ok. טעימה ובכן. אין הרבה שאני יכול להוסיף שזה מגיע למאונט גאי. אחרי כמה חביות בודדות של המזקקה הזו אני בהחלט חושב שהפוטנציאל גבוה מאוד. רום קליל. בהיר. דבשי. אבל הביטוי חלש בכל פרמטר מול מקביליו הברבדוסים.

 Wouldn't have been on my shortlist for a rum to drink neat, but due to a lack of cheaper alternatives, it turned out to be this one at the airport. Definitely better than expected, but not particularly interesting.

 With drops of water or meltwater comes through a lot of sweetness, which I can not taste pure out so. Even too sweet.

 Today at the bar times approved to test. Had promised me more of it, because it was advertised in the stores so. Pleasantly light in taste, but me too alcoholic both in smell and taste!

 Trying this one after the Plantation Grande Reserve. I like this one more, it's a lot less sweet and the 43% abv is also a nice upgrade. This one could be nice for whisky drinkers that want to try a rum for a change.

 Pretty smooth when it comes to drinking. Sometimes gets harsh in taste. Its not bad but not good either. Acceptable quality

 Pretty harsh ethyl note on the nose. Sweet (almost cloying) and a little abrasive on the palate. A little vanilla. Very thin body. Short finish. Tasted alongside Barbancourt 8 year

 Aromas of caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and dried fruit. Flavors of caramel, vanilla, spices and hints of tobacco. Smooth, good flavor very enjoyable.

 Zapach delikatny ale całkiem przyjemny. Smak dość płaski, bez niczego zaskakującego. Dość mocno czuć alkohol, jak na 40%.

 Priced at up to £80, the best rum for cocktails

 A simple yet pleasing representation of a young Bajan rum. Typical notes that are present are warm baking spices, vanilla and a hint of coconut. Suprisingly well balanced on the nose and palate for such an accesible spirit.
