Mount Gay - Eclipse Rum is distilled from sugarcane molasses or fresh cane juice, depending on the estate’s traditions. Fermentation times vary but are managed to strike a balance between robust flavor and clean spirit.

Distillation may be carried out in copper pot stills, column stills, or a combination, each choice influencing texture and strength. Aging in oak barrels adds further depth, with tropical climates accelerating the interaction between rum and cask.

Blending is conducted with precision to ensure consistency, with bottling done carefully to retain clarity and stability.

Mount Gay

Mount Gay is a historic rum brand from the island of Barbados, widely regarded as the oldest rum brand in the world, with a documented history of production dating back to 1703. The brand's identity is built on a legacy of pioneering spirit, deep craftsmanship, and a commitment to producing an authentic and high-quality rum.

The brand's philosophy is rooted in a meticulous production process that has been refined over centuries. Mount Gay uses a blend of column and pot still distillation and ages its rums in ex-bourbon barrels, which imparts a rich and complex flavor profile. The rum is known for its smooth character and its notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, and spice.

Mount Gay offers a range of expressions, from its classic Eclipse to the more premium Black Barrel and XO. The brand is a symbol of Barbadian heritage and is celebrated by rum enthusiasts and connoisseurs for its consistent quality and its historical significance in the world of spirits.
