Not only did it come complete with the newer “Mount Gay 1703 Barbados Rum” presentation but it also replaced the Eclipse Black which was bottled at 50% ABV. Sir John did such a good job at managing the plantation that it was renamed Mount Gay in his honor after his death in 1801. Barbados was the preeminent rum-producing British colony in the Caribbean, exporting to both North America and England. Mount Gay Eclipse: An aged rum developed in 1911 and named for the total solar eclipse and the passage of Halley's comet in 1910.

But with its new Single Estate Series, Mount Gay is going in a direction that harkens back to its earliest history. A dozen employees were added to handle the farming and harvesting, with Jacklyn Broomes overseeing them.After debating what would be my next purchase…………… So far I have tried Appleton Signature and 12 Years, and also Havana Club Especial, and love them all LOL ……………. So when Mount Gay put such things on their bottles we really must understand that they do know their craft !

Single Estate Series is an impeccable rum, with aromas of pear, oak and honey wafting out of the glass. After the first glass of the Black Barrel your taste buds start to adapt to the spice and further flavour comes through. The rum was released in celebration of the brand’s 311-year history, reinforcing Mount Gay’s craft, refinement, and unparalleled excellence since 1703; that's a long time to have been making rum and they have certainly perfected the art in that time.This may be a little too much for some who enjoying sipping their rum neat due to the smoky spiciness but others will love it.

However, what cannot be denied is that the Black Barrel is a completely different beast to the Eclipse Black. However, it must be remembered that Mount Gay are a long established giant of the rum game and their Extra Old (XO) is for many, a staple of the Bajan style of rum alongside R L Seale’s 10 Year Old.On 29 April 2010, while speaking at the Founder's Day service at Alleyne School, which was founded by Sir John Gay, alumnus and guest speaker Monsignor Vincent Blackett stated that Sir John Gay Alleyne should certainly be named one of Barbados' National Heroes. I’m always very sceptical about claims like these especially when rum is compared to scotch or whiskey. And the limestone bedrock is very close to the surface of the soil, which means that our sugarcane roots can be influenced by the mineralogy found in the limestone soil.
