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.

One of the staples for tropical and tiki drinks. It`s not among the best, not at all but some tiki drinks just need this rum.

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.

First Rum I have ever tasted, almost 20 years ago.
Bought from a Liqueur Store in Miami.
Back then I was excited with a Planters Punch.
Few months ago tasted again, straight, awaiting memories to come back.
Nothing came!!
Just some sugar cane taste was still interesting.

Another one I think is only good for mixing. Its good in a pinch cause of the low cost. There are way better rums out there.
