Review: Mount Gay Eclipse Rum
Mount Gay Eclipse Rum is named for the 1910 total solar eclipse from Halley’s Comet that was visible over Barbados. Mount Gay distillery is the oldest continuous operating rum distillery, dating back to 1703. Master Blender Trudiann Branker hand selects a blend of rums distilled in traditional copper pot and column stills and matured for up to 2 years in charred used American whiskey barrels. The rum is crafted from sugar cane molasses in Barbados, the birth place of rum.
