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.

Very good rum for its class! It's a black blended rum from Jamaica that has the usual caramel and molasses notes. A slight bitterness on the aftertaste as well.
Not quite up to sipper-level, but functions very well as a mixer in various cocktails. It's a staple on my liquor shelf.

It was a lot of fun to see this classic appear in BC Canada recently: private stores only of course. Molasses, oak, earthy, coffee, cola, leather. It makes for a strong base in Tiki drinks calling for Jamaican, but my taste for hogo has me reaching for newer Jamaican marques.

Considering the price i could have known what to expect. At least I did not try it neat. I tried it in a Dark and Stormy... Just a waste of good ginger beer.
Typical dark flavor notes turned up to 10. Would stay away from drinking straight up but can work well with the right mixers (Sunset or Mai Tai)

This rum I quite enjoyed. Delicious, and a true dark rum that incorporates flavors that leave the palate surprised.
Mixes excellently, good on the rocks, but can be overpowering at times.

If you like a very dark, almost bitter rum then this is the rum for you. Not a bad rum just too dark for me

If you’re going to be making some dark rum drinks buy it. Not sipping alone.

I was searching for a drink that is easy to make and I tried them all. Vodka lemon, Whiskey sour, Averna sour, and many more (ok I skipped Tequila...). So I worked my way through the supermarket's liquor shelf from left to right. One day I found myself in front of the far right side of that shelf, the rum area.
I thought "hmm, the last time I had rum I was a teenager and it gave ma a bad headache". But on the other hand this kind of liquor wasn't on my radar at all, so I knew nothing about it. I chose a bottle that I never saw before - Meyer's dark rum. Because I didn't know what flavour I was about to experience, I also bought Schweppes ginger ale, bitter lemon and cola. Just to be sure. Long story short: it tastes awesome in any event! In fact I tried orange juice, apple juice, coconut milk and even hazelnut milk. Trust me: if you like the type of juice you mix it with, you cannot go wrong with Myer's dark rum! It's gonna fit perfectly. I have to admit though... Cola is my favourite mix. I always have a bottle of Myer's at home.
