Mount Gay Eclipse Rum 1000ml

Mount Gay Rum has been produced in Barbados since 1703, making it the oldest existing brand of rum in the world. Mount Gay Rum has been closely associated with sailing and a popular rum among sailors over the many years of its existence. Barbados, the most deeply British of the West Indian cultures, is often the first landfall for ships following the prevailing trade winds from Europe to the Caribbean.

Distilled in Barbados, this expression from Mount Gay was named for the ‘double phenomenon’ of a total solar eclipse and the passage of Halley’s comet in 1910.

The nose is full and rounded with notes of fresh flowers and honey, a little vanilla and tropical fruit. The palate is fruity and well-rounded with notes of banana, vanilla, smoke, toasty oak, spice. The finish is long and spiced with toasty oak.
