Myers's Original Dark rum

Myers's Original Dark

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.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Jamajka
Aroma: Výrazná, silná vůně, hodně melasová, karamelová. Trochu kyselosti, mízy, čerstvé kůry ze stromu, mléčná čokoláda. (86 b)
Chuť: Velmi suchý na jazyku. Karamel, spousta melasy, v dochuti pak lehká nahořklost, lékořice a opálené dřevo. (80 b)
Body: 83
Shrnutí: Tento rum se používá hlavně do míchaných nápojů. Vůně je oproti chuti výrazně zajímavější. Stylově i vzhledem k ceně a hlavnímu účelu použití nemám žádné výhrady, na grog nebo třeba do tiramisu musí být super. Ale dá se pít i normálně samotný.

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.

This tastes so bad, it is only fit for chumps who drink Jägermeister. Since I am not that type of person, the bottle went straight down the sink after first two sips.

This is the most gawd-awful substance to ever assail my palette. Other reviewers led me to believe I was in for a treat. This nasty liquor tastes like burnt wood! I'll stick with Flor de Caña

This is not a straight sipper. Fantastic for mixing in your favorite rum based cocktails, but lacking in enough complexity to stand solo. Which is fine! Different spirits play different rolls. Hell, this would be great in a split base tropical drink such as a painkiller with some Smith and Cross. Must have for your at home bar if not for versatility alone.

I love that it smells sweeter than it tastes - vanilla, molasses and tobacco notes, with a warm, full flavour and a hint of citrus tang. A flavourful mixing rum that can be enjoyed all by itself.

Intensiver, süßlicher und fruchtiger Duft, typisch jamaikanisch.
Kann geschmacklich pur nicht mit der Nase mithalten. Staubtrocken. Zuweilen alkoholisch.
Ein starker Kontrast zu dem was man sich erwartet/erhofft hätte.

Zum Mischen jedoch perfekt geeignet, vor allem um süßlich-fruchtig-würzige Drinks mit geschmacklich dominanten Zutaten aufzuwerten, denen es in der Nase fehlt.
Dann erhält man eine Explosion an Aromen.

No longer a standard in all grocery liquor departments apparently. Should be, though. A fine enough Jamaican rum. Not strong funk on the nose but plenty on the palate. When all else fails, 4 ounces of pineapple juice and 2 of Fred’s elixir, and life is good. Let’s all drink to Fred Myers. He deserves it.

For a reasonably priced rum with a touch of that lovely Jamaican funk, Myers can't be beat.

Nose is mild, moderately redolant of overripe fruit and molasses. Not a lot of alcohol whiff. On the palate, it's surprisingly smooth, lightly sweet, and there's a lack of harshness that is pretty remarkable for this price tier (and for such a ubiquitous rum).

That said, it's not the beautiful sipping pot of Haut gout that other Jamaicans are. Still, if I lost my job and were on a budget...bingo!

I bought mine in a plastic bottle and I'm not sure if that was the problem, but it tasted off when sipped straight. That being said, off your making a mai-tai this is the rum

Not bad but not great. Was going on the rocks. Would likely order again.
