Jamaica | Dark | 40% ABV

Myer’s Original Dark Rum is a blend of up to nine different rums of various ages, all of which are distilled using Jamaica's typical production method: pot-stills. The Original Dark Rum is slightly unique in Jamaica however, because some of the molasses used earlier in the process is added back in after distillation.

Myers rum has been produced since 1879 and named after its founder, Fred Myers.

I'm not to good yet on the rum scene. But it's not a smooth one!

I felt this was much too sweet to drink straight on the rocks. Probably better served as a mixer.

For certain cocktails this is a required rum but not something id6drink everyday.

This one is ok for mixed drinks but now that I am older and have a little money, I perfer a good ru that I can drink straight.
If you like mixed rum drinks and have a tight budget then Myers is ok.

Famous for being THE Plunter's Punch ingredient but also for mediocre MaiTais it does its job there but that's about it. Not really tasty as a sipper but a cheap alternative to the real good dark ones like a Wood's or a Lemon Hart. I don't use it at home but have been given worse in bars so it's ok...

A normal dark rum, nothing special about the flavour and not really smooth enough to drink straight.

You cannot sip this one, but why not mix with coke or use in a cocktail?

Personally I don't like it that much and I can't quite put my finger on why it's not a bad rum. It's all most overy sweet and not in a good way. This one I have a hard time reviewing because I'm not a big fan of it but I keep drinking it.
