Mount Gay Eclipse Navy Strength (70cl, 57.1%)

A rum from Mount Gay in Barbados, distilled from sugar cane molasses from Barbados and other parts of the Caribbean. Navy Strength is a historical term from the days when sailors carried large quantities of rum at sea. It matured for between 2 and 4 years and contains a higher proportion of older pot-still rums than the traditional Eclipse, while balance and elegance of the flavour profile are retained. Notes include roasted pineapple, vanilla and mocha. Nose: butterscotch, pine cones, vanilla, salted almonds, classic chewing gum and ethanol. Palate: vanilla, butterscotch, almond butter, honey syrup, dark chocolate and black pepper. Finish: long and hot, with vanilla, oak, ethanol, cinnamon and black pepper.
