Mount Gay Eclipse is named after the 1910 total solar eclipse that was visible from Barbados. Eclipse is the embodiment of the Mount Gay style, body and aroma by which our Master Blender Trudiann Branker uses to blend every variety of Mount Gay Rum. For many rum aficionados Eclipse is also the reference by which all rum should be measured. Taste: An oaky character with slight burnt notes. Light to medium body. Appearance: Golden amber. Aroma: Distinctive notes of vanilla and banana, with underlying notes of caramel, summer fruit and spice.
