Although I’m often happy to drk bottom-shelf whiskey neat, the thner body and rougher edg of Eclipse ( parison wh the olr bottl om Mount Gay) means I see this stuff as more appropriate for mixg. No product the Mount Gay lp mak the brand’s marketg and mographic tentns so clear as Black Barrel, which all but screams “I am a m for whiskey drkers.

” This one is fished ed bourbon barrels, and is bottled at a slightly higher strength than the Eclipse, 43% ABV (86 proof)—which is also the proof of Mount Gay XO Rerve and Mount Gay 1703 Master Select.
