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.

Best tasting rum with so many hints of molasses you would think you could pour it on pancakes!!
More of that Jamaican funk on the nose than the Platinum version, but similar in taste in that regard. A bit of burn, tastes of lightly burnt brown sugar, with a hint of cinnamon. Dry, and a short finish with some molasses on the back end. Not at all complex, but an acceptable price to performance ratio. It's definitely for mixing. Similar to Coruba, but I prefer the Coruba (a bit less dry, a bit more flavorful).
($33CAD) It’s a very dark spirit with a nice amber color. The smell is that of a Jamaican pot stilled rum with a ton of sweetness.
On the taste side, it’s quite a bit thinner than I imagined. But I did have Smith & Cross at 57% on the mind…
I enjoy it straight up but definitely enjoy it more as a mixer for a dark n stormy.
Dark and mellow - I agree with that. Nice smell of molasses, a bit hogo, even sipping is not terrible. Interesting overall and seems to be authentic old fashioned (in good way). One of the best mixers in it's price.
Der Myers ist und bleibt das bezahlbare Party Getränk schlechthin. Angenehm mild, angenehm süss, kann man Pur trinken, mit Eis, mit O-Saft oder wie meist mit Cola.
I rated this rum as a mixer, not as a sipper.. and it is a very good mixer, for the price you pay.
Heavy on molasses, and coffee aromas. You get tropical fruits and sweet, so be careful when you mix it with other ingredients.
When neat, is not well balanced with a strong burn from alcohol.
Ok as a mixer, very molasses tasting. Smells like licorice.
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."

I was searching for a drink that is easy to make and I tried them all. Vodka lemon, Whiskey sour, Averna sour, and many more (ok I skipped Tequila...). So I worked my way through the supermarket's liquor shelf from left to right. One day I found myself in front of the far right side of that shelf, the rum area.
I thought "hmm, the last time I had rum I was a teenager and it gave ma a bad headache". But on the other hand this kind of liquor wasn't on my radar at all, so I knew nothing about it. I chose a bottle that I never saw before - Meyer's dark rum. Because I didn't know what flavour I was about to experience, I also bought Schweppes ginger ale, bitter lemon and cola. Just to be sure. Long story short: it tastes awesome in any event! In fact I tried orange juice, apple juice, coconut milk and even hazelnut milk. Trust me: if you like the type of juice you mix it with, you cannot go wrong with Myer's dark rum! It's gonna fit perfectly. I have to admit though... Cola is my favourite mix. I always have a bottle of Myer's at home.
