Mount Gay Eclipse Navy Strength (Limited Edition)
Surprising how well the 57.1% hides — most tasters expected a burn that never really arrives. It's the everyday Eclipse turned up: brown sugar, honey and caramel with dark chocolate, peppery spice and a little banana and pineapple in the back. The nose splits people (some get musky wood and cardboard), but the palate is where it earns its keep.

How does Mount Gay Eclipse Navy Strength (Limited Edition) taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Navy-strength Eclipse, chocolate and pepper, great mixer Most tasters like the balance and how well the high proof is integrated. A step up from standard Eclipse. The nose divides opinion, and a few find it too hot to sip neat.

Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is quite musky. Wood and old cardboard mainly, not as horrid as it sounds, but admittedly not pleasing. There are also distant notes of banana and coal smoke. Charred wood and honey mainly present on the palate. Dark chocolate and leather also hanging around. The finish is a medium in length and keeps the charred wood and chocolate notes from the palate. Overall, it's not the best thing I've tried from Mount Gay. Very woody and serious. Was fun to try a more robust Eclipse though. I'd say its slightly better than the original.
Review by Tyler Griffith
Reminds me a bit of Hamilton 151. Slight pepper on the finish. Not a lot of burn for such a high ABV. Nose is sugar, woody, alcohol. A bit of banana and other typical fruit. Really well balanced.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Great new addition from Mount gay. Absolutely fair price-performance ratio for 30€, certainly goes really well in some cocktails. Alcohol surprisingly well integrated. Great overall package what you get here!
