Mount gay eclipse rum review

Another blend of pot and column still rums, aged in ex American whisky barrels and finished in heavily charred ex bourbon casks. Lighter, fruitier and boozier than Black Barrel Cask Strength. Why release a higher strength version of an average product? The original Eclipse is a blend of column and pot still rums, aged for a maximum of two years in ex bourbon barrels.

Finish is short with some bitterness.

Review 15 Mount Gay

Navy Strength is more pronounced, present, punchier. Oak, light tobacco, chocolate, molasses, light candle wax, dried fruit, raisins, marzipan. Up - Rum. There is no information given about the age of the blend unfortunately, but the original is 3 to 7 years. Eclipse Navy Strength is a blend of 2 to 4 year old rums and apparently has more pot still in it than the original.

It accentuates the sweetness of the cola. Oak spice, vanilla, light pineapple, very light tobacco and coconut. I’m always interested in the recipes recommended by the distilleries, and I found this simple recipe for The Original Rum Punch intriguing.

Regular Eclipse is an ok mixer. Tobacco, oak, menthol, dark chocolate, black pepper, vanilla. Finish is medium long with a hint of bitterness. Thicker, fuller nose than Eclipse Navy Strength. It remains very charry though.

But, it does sound good. Review: Mount Gay Rum - Eclipse Navy Strength and Master Blender Selection – Coffey Still - Barbados' Mount Gay has recently graced us with two new expressions of its rums, one for (relatively) mass consumption, the other extremely limited.

It can only be bought at Mount Gay in Barbados. Since these rums are cheap enough for most people to not feel bad about mixing them, I dumped them both in a bit of Coke. Not as fruity, but that department improved the longer I let it breathe. As Mount Gay Eclipse is the entry-level rum in their offerings, I was looking forward to mixing it in some tasty cocktails.

Eclipse Navy Strength is bottled at Mount Gay Eclipse Navy Strength. The Black Barrel rum and Coke is a little thicker and rounder. Oak, vanilla, light marzipan, cigar box. Straight forward bourbon cask nose. Mount Gay Eclipse is not one that excites me.

Without any info, I was thinking about the point of this release. Mount Gay Eclipse rum - rated # of rums: see reviews, photos, other Mount Gay rums, and similar Gold rums from Barbados.
