Distillery & Production

Produced at Mount Gay Distilleries in Barbados, the world's oldest rum distillery established in 1703. Eclipse combines pot still and column still rums, aged in charred American oak barrels. The tropical ageing climate and careful blending create a rum with complex aromatics and a smooth, balanced character that has made it a global favourite for over a century.

Tasting Notes

Bright, luminous golden amber colour. The nose reveals complex aromas of floral notes, spice (peppermint-type), tropical fruit (apricot, banana, mango), a hint of vanilla, and subtle smoked oak from the charred barrels. The palate is in superb harmony with the aroma, offering well-balanced flavour undertones with tropical fruit, gentle spice, and smooth oak. The finish is clean and balanced with lingering fruit and spice.

Perfect Serve

Exceptionally versatile, perfect in classic rum cocktails like Mojitos, Daiquiris, and Rum Punches. Also excellent in long drinks with cola or ginger beer, served on the rocks, or enjoyed neat to appreciate its complex character. A true all-rounder for any rum occasion.
