The total eclipse of Rum.
 
The story of Mount Gay Rum begins in the year 1703, on the Caribbean island of Barbados, when John Sober (seriously...), inherited a distillery, and invited Sir John Gay to help manage it. Sir John Gay jumped at the opportunity to give the Barbadians something special. He refined the production process and began producing noticeably superior product that has survived to this day. Mount Gay is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, Rum brands in the World.
 
Mount Gay Eclipse is the measure used by Master Distiller Allen Smith to judge all other Mount Gay products. This is surely a testament to its greatness. It was named after the "double phenomenon" that took place when a solar eclipse occurred at the same time as Halley’s comet passed earth in 1910. The flavors capture its island home, with a thick sweetness and rich fruity tang throughout. It rounds off well with a mouth watering spicy kick.

Kevin
Kevin,
Refreshing taste
 
Gregory
Gregory,
fruity and sweet. actually quite nice and good house rum!
 
Pam
Pam,
Smooth, essential for anyone who’s had it first-hand in Barbados.
 
Joshua
Joshua,
Got this due to availability over my usual standard which is Doorly's 5. I found this to be slightly more herbal and dry than the doorly's.
 
Michael
Michael,
Good flavor but pretty harsh. Would use in a mixed drink.
 
Robinson
Robinson,
It’s got the sweetness upfront followed by the bitterness at the end. Not a huge fan of it but I do appreciate it greatly in a Mai Tai.
 
Leif
Leif,
Smooth AF. Great, especially for the low price.
 
David
David,
If you want to make a proper Brazilian Daiquiri you need this, Meyer's and Whaler's dark rum, an entire pineapple, and a whole vanilla bean. And a week in a cool dark closet.
 
Scott
Scott,
Surprisingly good for the price! Sweet with vanilla flavors.
 
Nina
Nina,
I use this one for tiramisu.
 
Nick
Nick,
This is my go-to if Zacapa isn't available. The strong alcohol flavor at the end makes it less ideal for sipping.
 
Jess
Jess,
Sweet, smooth and a bit of spice, easy drinking
 
Joseph
Joseph,
This is my "go to" bottle when Rum is needed.
 
Zachary
Zachary,
Smooth and spiced just right, not too much pepper.
 
John
John,
Classic and light, has a little bite on the end though so not the best for sipping.
 
guest
guest,
Strong alcohol aftertaste when drank straight but not bad in cocktails.
 
Campbell
Campbell,
Hands down my favorite rum
 
Michael
Michael,
sweat and pretty smooth up front, but it has a weird aftertaste
 
CHRIS
CHRIS,
A great rum for a hot day, something we have had a number of in SC. I like it with a lime sour mix, something not too sweet.
 
Danny
Danny,
It was meh. Definitely, only a mixer and not to be by itself.
 
Barry
Barry,
Great for mixing with coke or tonic.
 
Tina
Tina,
Tastes like cheap rum to me. The alcohol harshly comes through and leaves an awful aftertaste. Tried mixing it with pineapple juice and can still get the harsh aftertaste. Glad I didn’t pay that much for it but won’t be buying it again.
 
Pete
Pete,
Not generally a rum drinker, but this is very good. Best in a Hot Toddy with only a small amount of Honey. Mixes well with Coke. Subtle spice aftertaste and very smooth all around.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
it was nice not to sweet nice aroma and mouth feel very good as a mixer
 
Rick
Rick,
Always a good go to. The special reserve is much better
 
Anders
Anders,
Not a good one
 
Jose
Jose,
very smooth
 
Scott
Scott,
Was spicier than expected which makes it difficult to mix with a lot of the common mixers that I use for rum. Alone, on the rocks, it was an excellent drink, but I generally mix rum. Once you get past the spice it's got an wonderful taste, and I'm a fan of spice as well.
 
Michael
Michael,
Not as smooth as higher class rums.
 
Ashley
Ashley,
A great mixing rum.
 
Nate
Nate,
sweet and smooth, something that's not expensive but feels fancy
 
Craig
Craig,
This is an ok choice for mixing. I did find this somewhat local a little cheaper.
 
Alec
Alec,
Very floral by my tastes followed by a mellow spicy that's almost mustardy. Slightly medicinal finish but fairly smooth overall
 
Andrew
Andrew,
The perfect rum for mixing! My Gay and Tonic with lime!!!
 
Brenton
Brenton,
Rum and tonic, with either fresh limes (or mint, my preference) and you have the original pirate cocktail. Delicious and the perfect summertime drink whether your cutting grass, hanging at the pool, or plundering colonies.

Straight forward sweet brown rum. Neat or with ice and club soda. Thumbs up.

Hits the spot in the Caribbean
