Mount Gay Eclipse Gold Navy Strength Rum

Mount Gay Eclipse Gold Navy Strength Rum: A Bold Tribute to Seafaring Spirit

Step into a legacy of maritime strength and Caribbean heritage with Mount Gay Eclipse Gold Navy Strength Rum — a powerful expression from the world’s oldest rum distillery, established in 1703. Bottled at 57% ABV, this high-proof edition honors the historic strength once favored by naval fleets, where rum had to ignite gunpowder to prove its potency.

This bold, unflinching spirit is based on the classic Mount Gay Eclipse Gold blend, known for its balance of floral, fruity, and oaky character — but dialed up to full Navy Strength for a richer mouthfeel, intense flavor, and superior mixability in robust cocktails.

🔑 Key Characteristics:

• 57% ABV (114 Proof): Navy Strength power for intense flavor and cocktail dominance

• Historic Eclipse Blend: The same base as Mount Gay’s signature golden rum, but amplified

• Copper Pot & Column Stills: A masterful blend of distillation methods for complexity and smoothness

• Crafted in Barbados: From a distillery with over 320 years of Caribbean rum expertise

• Unapologetically Bold: Not for the faint of heart — perfect for serious rum lovers

🥃 Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Bright gold with deep amber highlights

• Nose: Bold and aromatic — ripe banana, grilled pineapple, vanilla, warm spice, and toasted oak

• Palate: Full-bodied and intense — bursts of caramel, citrus peel, peppery spice, and charred wood

• Finish: Long, warming, and dry with lingering oak, leather, and tropical fruit heat

⚓ Why It Stands Out:

• Navy Strength Heritage: Inspired by the rum rations once issued to British sailors

• Superior for Cocktails: Cuts through mixers with authority — ideal for tiki drinks and daiquiris

• A Collector’s Variation: Rare and distinctive among the Mount Gay lineup

• Gift-Ready for Adventurers: A bold choice for whiskey drinkers exploring the rum world

• Mount Gay Legacy: Backed by centuries of Barbadian craftsmanship and authenticity

🍹 Serving Suggestions:

• Navy Daiquiri: Bold citrus, simple syrup, and Eclipse Navy for a robust take on a classic

• Rum Punch: Adds depth and heat to fruit-forward cocktails

• Tiki Drinks: A perfect base for Mai Tais, Zombies, and other high-impact tropicals

• On the Rocks or with a Splash of Water: Tames the heat while enhancing nuance

🌊 Overall Impression:

Mount Gay Eclipse Gold Navy Strength Rum is a fiery, full-bodied rum that pays tribute to maritime tradition while offering a modern rum lover bold flavor, high proof, and heritage in one powerful package. Whether you're building a cocktail with punch or curating a gift for a rum collector, this Navy Strength edition delivers exceptional strength, authenticity, and depth.
