Records trace the production of Mount Gay Rum back to 1703 and the birth of rum as we know it. The place of birth was Barbados, the only island in the Caribbean that is built entirely on a base of coral. Therein lies its precious difference. The pure coral-filtered water of this South Sea jewel yield rum of the most sumptuous kind. - Mount Gay Rum, since 1703, is the oldest rum in the world. - Is produced in Barbados where it is the No.1 Selling Rum.

The 1910 concurrence of a total solar eclipse and the passage of Halley's Comet inspired the creation of Eclipse, the golden emblem of Barbados.

Eclipse Silver is its white rum counterpart; and exquisite, light-bodied spirit of exceptional flavour and exceedingly smooth character. As infinitely pure as crystalline water used in its making, Eclipse Silver is a tribute to the sparkling sea, winding rivers and cascading waterfalls of Barbados Island.

Clean and aromatic, it offers a balanced, mellow harmony of sugar cane syrup and banana, infused with notes of peppermint and citrus. Its finish is soft and lingering.

Mount Gay Rum is the oldest rum brand in the world, since 1703.
