Originally this was going to be a frontpage post but since I never got the details I requested from one of the Mount Gay New York
representatives I'm going to make it just a forum post, just because I don't have the info to write a news article (and I think the momentum has passed, this is pretty much old news). I am still interested in reviewing this if any Mount Gay representatives in Europe are reading this.

I don't have much information here but all I know that it is currently being sold in the US only. The suggested retail price for Mount Gay Silver Eclipse is $15.99 compared to the suggested retail price for Mount Gay Eclipse $16-$17.

Above you can click the the thumbnail to get a larger image of this new product. Below are the official press releases for both Silver and Gold for comparison reasons. Remember to read my Eclipse Gold review too if you have not already done so.
