Mount Gay Eclipse Navy Strength Rum 700ml
Mount Gay Eclipse Navy Strength Rum 700mL
-
Mount Gay Eclipse Navy Strength is a high-proof limited-edition variation of their Eclipse blended rum, bottled at 57.1% ABV (114.2 proof) — a nod to traditional British Royal Navy rum standards.
-
It's crafted from a blend of 2–4 year old column- and pot-still rums, with a higher ratio of flavor-rich pot-still distillate compared to the original Eclipse.
Tasting Profile
Aroma
-
Aromas are surprisingly restrained given the proof: think banana, vanilla extract, pineapple, peach tea, passionfruit, milk chocolate, cardamom, and leather. Little obvious ethanol nose.
Palate
-
Powerful profile with waves of allspice, molasses cookies, dessert banana, baked peach, and coconut—balanced with vanilla and caramel sweetness. Electric higher-ester character brings a syrupy punch.
-
Also shows notes of almond butter, honey syrup, grapefruit peel, and faint grassy cane.
Finish
-
Long and warming with black pepper, cinnamon, dark chocolate, oak tannin, and slight bitterness trailing off. The finish is punchy but not overly stuck in the ethanol burn.
