Mount Gay Eclipse (70cl, 40%)

An aged rum from Mount Gay in Barbados, made from sugarcane and matured in original Kentucky Bourbon white oak casks. The rum is produced from sugarcane grown on Mount Gay's own plantation, using water from an underground spring beneath it. After 72 hours of fermentation, it is double distilled in copper pot stills, like cognac, then matured in the Bourbon casks that give it a golden colour and a lightly smoky, rounded flavour. It is golden amber in colour, with a balanced aroma of vanilla, banana, caramel, summer fruit and oak. The palate is soft, rich and balanced, with burnt oak, burnt almonds and fruit. It can be enjoyed neat, with ice, with mineral water or in drinks.
