Mount Gay Eclipse rum is the flagship brand of Mount Gay Distilleries Ltd. of Barbados, in the Caribbean. It has been produced since 1703, making it one of the oldest brands of spirits. The rum—whose heritage includes being carried aboard many sailing ships of yore—is one of the main sponsors of the United States Sailing Association. As such, it’s no surprise that it is the favorite rum of “America’s rich and famous”: It led the Luxury Institute’s 2007 Luxury Brand Status Index Survey survey for premium rum.
