Mount Gay Eclipse: An aged rum developed in 1911 and named for the total solar eclipse and the passage of Halley's comet in 1910. It would be impossible to dive into the history of rum without mentioning Mount Gay Distillery, the world’s oldest running rum distillery, established in 1703. That small distillery grew – digging a well, planting single-strand fields of cane, and expanding towards a larger future – under the leadership of Sir John Gay Alleyne.

John Sober inherited Mount Gilboa Plantation/Distillery from his father William Sandiford in 1747, and upon doing so he appointed Sir John Gay Alleyne as the manager. Sir John did such a good job at managing the plantation that it was renamed Mount Gay in his honor after his death in 1801. Caffall also has fond memories of pairing Mount Gay rum with spicy drunken noodles with Napa cabbage and sesame, from a weekly tiki pop-up at Fort Defiance in Brooklyn. “I can’t think of anything I want more right now than those noodles with a cold Planter’s Punch made with Mount Gay.” Mount Gay Rum has this distinct taste unlike any other rums from the islands,” says Taylor Rae, Bartender at NYC’s Ghost Donkey and US National Winner: MGR Taste of Summer Comp. “Because of its history as the first original rum, you really can taste that craftsmanship in the bottle. Mount Gay differs from other island rums because everything inside of the bottle is inherently Bajan. The coral filtered water that they use to make the rum is harvested from the island, the natural open-air yeast that interacts with the breeze of the island. Finally, the perfect balance that is the pot and column still blend that is unique to Mount Gay.”

The island of Barbados is formed of coral limestone, a porous stone, which acts as a natural filter for the groundwater deep beneath the island. Thus filtered, this water is some of the purest in the world.Personally, I think the newer presentation, first seen on the Gold and Silver Eclipse bottles was a much needed update. It brings the brand into the 21st century. Purists have also had a bit of a gripe about the new presentation leading to inferior product inside as well. Tales of how great the older tasting bottles are present on most rum forums. Rose tinted spectacles truly are a force of nature. Wes/Pirate… may I first thank you for your great contributions toward understanding and promoting real, pure and unaltered rums. Your efforts are rightfully respected, and not just by me.

We draw water from our private well on our estate in our production process.” As well as a re-boot of the presentation Mount Gay also seem to have got themselves involved in some of the marketing sheananigans more common with newer bottlers. “Small Batch Handcrafted Rum” will raise the eyebrows of a few rum aficionado’s I’m sure. However, it must be remembered that Mount Gay are a long established giant of the rum game and their Extra Old (XO) is for many, a staple of the Bajan style of rum alongside R L Seale’s 10 Year Old. So when Mount Gay put such things on their bottles we really must understand that they do know their craft !

These strong flavors sit at the core of what sets rum apart from its fellow dark liquors, and Mount Gay consistently works to set itself apart again from its rum competitors. Mount Gay Rum is made from molasses and water that has been filtered through natural coral. This mix is fermented using an exclusively selected yeast and then distilled in both copper pot stills and column stills, before being aged in oak barrels.

You can classify rum in dozens of different ways taking into account the different hues, how long they’ve been aged, and the type of barrel in which they’ve been aged. For our purposes, though, a simpler view breaks them down into three categories: light, dark, and spiced, with an alcohol content ranging from 20% to 75%. Mount Gay Rum is produced by Mount Gay Distilleries Ltd. of Barbados, the easternmost island of the West Indies. The oldest surviving deed for the company is from 1703, making Mount Gay Rum the world's oldest commercial rum distillery.

Zvýšil se také podíl rumů vyrobených měděným kotlíkovým destilačním zařízením. Takové dvojité zrání by mělo ve výsledku dodávat rumu výraznější a robustní chuť s intenzivnější kořeněnou vůní. A samozřejmě i zde můžete počítat s tím, že nedochází k žádnému doslazování rumu. Barbados sets itself apart in the Caribbean as the only coral-based island which, in turn, allows it to produce some of the purest water in the world. Using their own private well, Mount Gay draws this water through to power its production process. Local Barbadian molasses tends to have higher sugar content which leads to better yields of flavor.Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.
