Mount Gay Eclipse Rum (70cl, 40%)

Mount Gay Eclipse Rum is a Barbados rum from the Mount Gay Distillery, described as the oldest still-active rum distillery in the world. Since 1703, Mount Gay has stood for authentic Caribbean rum craft, and Eclipse embodies that style with a balanced, fruity-spicy profile. The name Eclipse recalls 1910, when both Halley's Comet and a solar eclipse were visible over Barbados. The rum is distilled from carefully selected sugar cane molasses and matured in American oak casks, using a combination of column and pot still distillation. Nose: vanilla, caramel and tropical fruits, with a hint of banana and light spice. Palate: rounded and harmonious, with caramel, almond, ripe banana and vanilla, plus fine spice notes and subtle oak. Finish: soft, pleasantly warm and balanced, with discreet sweetness and light spice.
