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. For many rum aficionados Eclipse is also the reference by which all rum should be measured. A really unique rum, enjoy it neat, on ice or in cocktails!
Nose: Stone and citrus fruits like apricot, banana and orange peel, with sweet notes of vanilla and hints of black pepper.
Palate: Full body with flavors of citrus zest, vanilla, butterscotch and caramel with a spicy ginger and a refreshing peppermint in the backround.
The oak provides a descreet smokiness that complements the rum's complexity.
Aftertaste: Long and dry with a delicate citrus zest, black pepper notes and some smokiness.
