Description

Mount Gay Eclipse is a showcase of their signature style. Crisp and aromatic, it's built on the body and aroma that Master Blender Trudiann Branker builds their expressions on. Named after the solar eclipse and the passing of Halley's comet in 1910, the Barbados rum is crafted with molasses that ferment for 3 days using in-house yeast, then distilled twice using a traditional column and double retort pot still, and aged in American charred ex-whiskey barrels. Mount Gay Distillery is located in Barbados. The brand dates all the way back to 1703 and is said to be one of the oldest rum houses in the world. The distillery, initially named Mount Gilboa, was renamed at the turn of the 19th century, adopting distillery manager Sir John Gay Alleyne’s namesake.   There's an enticing fruity and floral nose with aromas of vanilla, banana, caramel, fruit, and spice. Medium-light bodied, the oak shines through the palate along with a subtle smokiness. Bottle Size: 750mL ABV: 40%
