Mount Gay EclipseOrder this Rum for 24-Hour Delivery

Mount Gay Eclipse is an aged Barbados rum at 40% ABV from Mount Gay, whose records date to 1703 — the earliest documented deed for rum production, which is why the brand is described as the world's oldest rum.

Eclipse is a blend of pot still and column still rums aged in American oak whisky barrels. Barbados rum sits between the heavy Jamaican style and light Spanish-style rum, and this shows it clearly: a banana note that is characteristic of Barbados distillation, vanilla and toasted oak from the barrels, and a light spice on a medium-bodied finish.

That balance makes it genuinely versatile. It is smooth enough to drink over ice, but it has enough oak and fruit to be tasted through soda, ginger ale or a rum punch. It is a better mixer than a sipping-only rum and a better sipper than a mixing-only rum.

If you want one aged rum that can do both jobs, this is a sensible bottle to own. 247BOOZE delivers Mount Gay Eclipse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across our active service areas.
