Mount Gay Eclipse Heritage Blend Rum - 750ml Bottle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fair to middling rum for mixing, definitely not sipping! I can pull out lots of vanilla flavor, but not much else complexity to it. It’s not bad, but it just tastes a little thin/weak on the placate and doesn’t impart much flavor. Lot of better rums out there at the same price point, truth be told!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The aging gives it a smooth mouthfeel with great notes of vanilla. It's the perfect strength for cocktails and offers amazing value for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good value for a rum. The flavors were balanced with little burn while drinking. I made a coconut cocktail which was suitable with this rum.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it remains a standout for its consistent quality and craft. What immediately sets this Barbados rum apart is its uniqueness; there is a distinct crispness that you don't often find in other heritage blends. The purity of the spirit is evident from the first sip, lacking any of that artificial chemical aftertaste that sometimes plagues younger rums. The mouthfeel is impressively round and smooth, coating the palate without being overly syrupy or heavy. I particularly enjoy the texture, which strikes a perfect balance between a light-bodied mixer and a spirit complex enough to enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass. Whether you are looking for a reliable base for a classic cocktail or a smooth sipper to enjoy by the water, this bottle delivers a premium experience every time. It’s a staple on my shelf for a reason.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time trying Mount Gay Eclipse Rum. I tried it with pineapple juice. It has a bold flavor and comes off a bit strong for my palate, so it’s not something I’d sip alone since it isn’t super smooth. But mixed with pineapple juice, it gets a nice tropical balance but still too strong. The price is and size is great compared to other brands, which makes it an easy pick for parties or just hanging with friends. It would also make a nice gift.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This amber rum is delicious. I used it in mai tais and it was smooth with a aromatic spice. I can't wait to try it in other cocktails. It's a good midshelf liquor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rum was much stronger than I expected on the first sip. The alcohol presence was very noticeable and a bit sharp on its own. I mixed it with pineapple juice, which mellowed it out and made it more enjoyable, but the flavor still didn’t have much depth or complexity. It works for cocktails if you want something with a strong kick, but it’s not a standout for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great smooth taste and blends wonderfully in those fruity colorful drinks. Not spicy and doesn’t have a bite like other inexpensive rums. #complimentary

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mount Gay Eclipse is a smooth, well-balanced rum that’s easy to enjoy. The aroma is light and inviting, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and subtle tropical fruit. On the palate, it’s rounded and approachable, showing hints of oak, banana, and gentle spice without harsh alcohol burn. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and smooth, especially over ice. The finish is warm and clean, making it a versatile choice for both cocktails and casual sipping.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the chance to try the Mount Gay Eclipse Heritage Blend Rum, and it impressed me with both its smooth flavor profile and overall mouthfeel. It has warm notes of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of oak, and the texture is light yet silky, making it easy to sip without feeling heavy. The mouthfeel is clean and balanced, with a gentle warmth that lingers just long enough to be enjoyable. The packaging also feels premium and looks great displayed. One drink that works especially well with this rum is a Cranberry Rum Spritz. The combination of rum, cranberry juice, a squeeze of lime, and a splash of sparkling water highlights the rum’s smooth texture while the tart cranberry adds a refreshing contrast. It’s simple, bright, and a great way to showcase the flavor. Overall, this is a reliable and versatile rum with a pleasant mouthfeel and smooth finish, great for both sipping and mixing.

It has a smooth, warm flavor that’s easy to sip, and it mixes really well too. It feels like one of those rums that fits perfectly with the holiday season, cozy, a little festive, and something you can enjoy during family get togethers or just winding down at night. I’d definitely drink it again.
