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.

Nez et gout typiquement plummer jamaïcain de colonne avec de la mélasse ajouté. Il me rappelle fortement le wray and nephew mais vieilli et avec cette touche métallique en fond. C'est un mixer et rien d'autre. Il se marie pas trop mal avec du cola ou du jus mais il se marie parfaitement avec du dr pepper.

Wanted to try this for years but rarely see it. Unlike most other reviews on here I find it to be a lovely sipper. Niceand warm on the throat with a full mouth of burnt toffee, pecan, orange and creamy butterscotch. Very enjoyable will become a regular now I know where to purchase it. Looking forward to trying it in a dark and stormy.

Way too much molasses and caramel and no real depth to speak of. As generic as rum can get. Fine in a coke here and there.

Dark and strong molasses flavor. Hint of burnt caramel but not in a bad way.

A pretty decent rum for a mixer but far too strong and not well balanced for a sipping rum. It does it's job well for a cocktail but very lackluster taste when left on it's own.

Especially good as a 'float' on Rum Runners and Piña Coladas. A truly outstanding dark rum!

I was introduced to Myers by my sea-loving rum-loving brother back in the 70's. It has been my go-to rum ever since. My preference is the way it was first served to me - Myers and Tonic with lime. I'm a bit older now and have modified it with diet tonic but still love it. My brother moved on to the high-end Anniversario Rum but I have stayed vigilant.
