Mount Gay Eclipse, named after the 1910 total solar eclipse, is a blend of rums distilled in traditional copper pot and column stills, then matured for 2 years solely in American whiskey casks.

For more than three centuries, Mount Gay Distillery has been the home of quintessential Barbados rum. Based in St. Lucy at the northernmost tip of the island, every bottle of Mount Gay is produced in much the same way as it was back in 1703. Using pure, coral-filtered water, the finest molasses and traditional copper pot and copper column stills, Mount Gay continues its legacy of the signature Barbados style, as expertise, history and craftsmanship come together in one of the most sought-after rums on the planet.

The world’s oldest running rum distillery, established in 1703.
