For those seeking an adventurous twist on traditional rum, Mount Gay Eclipse is the perfect spirit to add depth and character to your cooking. This well-known, medium-bodied rum is a blend of pot still and column still rums, aged in oak barrels, and boasts a distinctive, vibrant flavour profile that balances fruity and spicy notes. The Eclipse offers flavours of ripe bananas, vanilla, and a hint of toasted oak – ideal for pairing with tropical dishes, grilled meats, or even in desserts like rum-soaked cakes and flambéed fruit.
On the lighter side, Mount Gay Silver offers a refreshing, crisp profile that’s as versatile as it is smooth. Distilled in traditional column and double retort pot stills, Mount Gay Silver is smooth and refined, showcasing fresh, clean notes of citrus, grapefruit, and butterscotch. The body is balanced with a sweet, creamy finish, making it an ideal choice for dishes requiring a touch of delicacy, as well as for cocktail-based recipes like mojitos or daiquiris. (PR)
