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.
The nose is full and rounded with notes of fresh flowers and honey, a little vanilla and tropical fruit. The palate is fruity and well-rounded with notes of banana, vanilla, smoke, toasty oak, spice. The finish is long and spiced with toasty oak.
One of my favourites ever since visiting the distillery in Barbados!
I don’t like the new recipe and won’t be buying any more
An all round crowd pleaser. Reliable and long time favourite!
Pleasant. A lot like like an undistinguished Scotch. I will try it with mixers and try other rums...I am an ingenue here.
Mount Gay is all I drink, it’s perfect! Mixed with a dash of coke and lime - I fire it straight into my gub.
