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.

 Mild smoky note, light rum without strong impressions. Soft finish. Price very reasonable. Price-performance rum

 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.

 Really nice sipping rum

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

 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.

 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

 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.

 Very thin vanilla, wood and minimal fruit notes.Biting attack, slightly fruity and wood notes can be heard.Long, warm slightly bitter finish.In total, you notice the short storage time. Little character.

 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.

 Might be passable in a mixed drink, but definitely not a sipper.

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

 Loses presence with coke. Not for sipping.

 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!
