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 tried it neat just to get a feel for the flavor. Heavy molasses but interesting and not too bad but i think it will be much better mixed.
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.
As described "Voni jako lucni kviti a chutna jako rana pesti." :-)

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.
This is a must for any rum collection, a number of cocktails use this
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!
The rum is 50% inviting and 50% telling you to watch out!.
"Initially it is all caramel and burnt toffee almost like black treacle. As the aroma develops that rich Jamaican aroma also makes an entrance amongst the dense treacle."
Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

This is my default rum and I drink rum on the rocks. Myer's dark is a little harsher than I'd like, as others point out, but at the easy-to-find / affordable level, I don't have one I like better (yet). I'll keep looking. After a minute or two on the rocks, it softens enough to sip just fine and help me hang loose. I like the flavor too and it's not too sweet, which is very important to me.
