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.

Far too much like whiskey. Has no traditional "Rum" taste at all. So disappointed to visit Barbados and be met with this. I've drank many different brands of Dark Rum, White Rum and Spiced Rum but this was a total letdown unfortunately.
The reviews saying “worst rum ever” are perhaps a little harsh. Not the best by a long shot, but I’ve found using this in a Rum Negroni, with Anitca formula vermouth, makes a delicious drink
horrid drink, the WORST Rum from about 40-50 different rums tried
Not nice at all, out of the full bottle I've had one drink that was surprisingly nice. Tastes far too much like whiskey for me and I hate the stuff hence why I drink rum. Only bought it as it was on offer locally, glad I didn't pay full price
tastes horrible and the bottle went down the sink.
