You can do better for the money. Bottom-third reviews at a mid-range price. RumX drinkers give it 6.5/10 across 197 ratings, vs. 7.1/10 for the typical rum (730 rated). The Fat Rum Pirate gives it 1.8/5, vs. 4/5 for the typical rum (921 rated).
Mount Gay Eclipse is the flagship rum from Mount Gay Distillery in Barbados, a blend of column-still and double retort pot-still rums aged in charred ex-bourbon American whiskey barrels. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), it offers a light-to-medium body with aromas of vanilla, banana, caramel and spice, and a slightly oaky, burnt-sugar palate, making it a versatile sipping and mixing rum.
