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.

Myers is another rum which is nice with coke but too strong tasting for on the rocks.

One of the most famous rums in the world, fine example of dark rum as introduction, as well as Jamaican rum, it is hard to go back once you've tasted better. But I do.

I think this rum has agricole (sugar cane) mixed in. It also includes notes of molasses, brown sugar, and a light peppery spice. Goes down smooth for 40% abv and is a pretty good dark rum.

This is a dark sweet rum that pairs perfect with coke a cola. This should be in all houses for a great go to.

This has such a buttery taste with a traditional mollases base i like this a lot and when i mix it 40mm in std glass with zero sugar coke , it gets a thick head on it ( dont see that with many other rums with the same mix)

Banana and Molases to the nose. Both on tasting as well. Medicine like finish that is just a touch harsh. Mixes well. Overpriced for what you're getting.

I really rate Myer's for mixing cocktails - which is a little outside the rum connoisseur's brief I know - but this rum provides a strong caramel and vanilla taste which can compete with other strong flavours such as fruit juice and coconut cream. I try and have bottle or two lying around (rather hard to get in Australia though) for simply that purpose. Not one to drink neat.

Great slightly muted jamaican flavor, oaky, molasses, and sweetness makes this one of the best. Certainly for the price point and availability. This is in every liquor store in North America and just about every bar.

Classic Jamaican dark rum, not a high-end rum but good price, mixes well and makes a nice drink, I also like the dark rectangular glass bottle. I gave it a 7 out of 10.

I mean this stuff is pretty bad, especially given the price. The artificial whatevers they put into it are quite obvious. The best part of it is the second quarter which hints at a molasses that might be palatable but never fulfills its promise and then degrades into a mishmash of artificial additives.

If you're looking for a mixer just go bottom shelf generic. There's no point to this one.

I'm not to good yet on the rum scene. But it's not a smooth one!
