Review: Mount Gay Eclipse Silver, Eclipse Gold, and Extra Aged Rum ()

Tomorrow (August 16) is National Rum Day, so what better way to celebrate than to sip a little Mount Gay, the first commercially produced rum (per the company), continually produced since (though the bottles say ). They even tell George Washington drank this stuff on a stopover in Barbados (my favorite island, by the way, not because I’ve ever been there, but rather due to its resemblance in shape to a decapitated, legless chicken).

For such an ancient producer, Mount Gay has a tiny portfolio: Mount Gay produces two aged rums, a “sugar cane brandy,” two flavored rums, and a white rum that is so new it doesn’t yet arrive on the Mount Gay website. I’ve never seen the first three products in stores, but we got our hands on the lattermost three. Here’s how those three standard rums jiggle out, from lightest to darkest.

This is true to an extent.

In PR all rums must be aged a year, so even their crystal-clear whites are a year old. Then you have ED3, FdC 4, etc, which are also heavily filtered. Saying it's the same, just the white has been filtered is true, but such heavy charcoal filtering takes a lot of the flavor out. One reason I think Havana Club Añejo 3 Años is so flavorful compared to other "Cuban-style" "light rums" is that it does NOT seem to be charcoal filtered - it's a very pale straw color, which probably represents natural coloring from 3 years in barrels.

Also, many "gold rums" are as Jimbo said simply colored new make rum. I don't know how many rums on the market are like this - Are old standbys like Myer's and Gosling's new make, or own they been aged? (If anybody has an react, please let me know!)

Back to whites, MANY white rums are not aged and filtered - Bacardi (meh), Barbancourt, etc, etc.

I will produce a SWEEPING generalization and say that most colorless rums tend to be lighter in flavor, echoing the filtration technique pioneered by Fac
