Explore a new depth of flavor with Eclipse Navy Strength, a new limited edition created by Master Blender Trudiann Branker. For this release she took inspiration from the long historical connection between Mount Gay and sailing, creating a high strength Eclipse blend bottled at 57.1% ABV.

Navy Strength History
Navy Strength rum is a historical term dating back to the years when boats would carry large quantities of rum. In the days of cannonball battles, wet gunpowder that would not light would be a death sentence in battle. However, sailors realized if the rum was high enough strength and spilled, the gunpowder would still light and be used, and so this was what was carried on ships, and the term has remained. The historic Navy Strength used in the US was 57.1% abv, and that is the reference Trudiann chose for her Eclipse Navy Strength blend.
