Mount Gay Eclipse is the signature golden rum of Mount Gay, described as the world's oldest rum distillery, established in 1703. Named after the 1910 solar eclipse and Halley's Comet, it embodies the classic Barbadian style. It is distilled in copper pot and column stills and aged in American oak. The rum shows bright golden amber colour, with vanilla, ripe banana, almond, caramel, summer fruit, spice, toasted oak and a smoky edge on the nose. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with banana, vanilla, toasty oak, honey, tropical fruit, light spice, burnt sugar and smoke. The finish is long and spiced, with lingering oak, caramel and banana sweetness.
