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.

Too sharp neat, but works well in cocktails. Rum old fashioned? Get me more of that!

A very good dark Jamaican rum. Perfect for many complex Tiki style drinks. I use it as a float in a Mai Tai. I use it as one of the rums in my Zombie, Hurricane & Jungle Bird. I personally prefer it to Goslings for a Dark & Stormy. Plus, it goes great with cola when in the mood for something simpler. This is a must try for any upcoming rum enthusiasts.
My favorite rum for baking, especially in a rum cake, it is perfect!
Cheers!

It's got a strong molasses flavor and a bit of funk, so if I were forced at gunpoint to only use a single dark rum for the rest of my life, I'd probably choose this. But there are plenty of other rums out there that are better for specific uses, and I'd rather have 3-4 of those bottles than just this one.

Always keep some on hand for mixing. Probably my favorite dark mixing rum. Little harsh for straight sipping.

Ahh man, just got done a bottle of single still El Dorado and then opened this. Im reminded why I stay away from midrange Jamaican rum. That acetone vegetative smell hits you and you think you are in for a double-proof night of chaos. However it wasn't too bad and is mellowed with the molasses at the end. As with most Jamaican rum, its not without that vegetative funk.

In the bottle from the gas station down your street. Pours brown. Because I don’t recall ever drinking this neat before, I must admit that I’m pleasantly surprised. Classic Jamaican funk, but plenty of it. Up front burnt sugar sweetness. Finishes with a gullet burn, not a mouth burn.

Celkem dobře pitelný rum s tóny čokolády a koření. Navoněný s dlouhým koncem.

Fine if in a bind. Like a lot of the lower end rums it’s ok if you want to mix it and no one is watching

Caramel, molasses oak and a bit roasty burnt nose. Dark strong burnt alcohol start and body. Warming and medium burn on the finish with a strong nasty after taste… would be great for the mic with a coke or something but for a normal drinking it is not very good… Diplomatico Reserva or Plantation 20th anniversary are just more superior for this

I actually love this rum. It’s flavorful, deep, well rounded. Great flavors you’d expect from a Jamaican rum without being too funky (I love funk but some don’t). Can drink straight but honestly it really shines in tiki drinks. The gripe I have is that they switched their 750ml bottle to plastic. Sorry but I can’t get behind that. Not only is plastic toxic in a lot of ways, for us and the environment, but it’s also just got such a cheap feel to it. Now I have found it in glass but a majority of places sell the 750 in a plastic bottle now. It shouldn’t be offered in plastic. Period.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Jamajka
Aroma: Výrazná, silná vůně, hodně melasová, karamelová. Trochu kyselosti, mízy, čerstvé kůry ze stromu, mléčná čokoláda. (86 b)
Chuť: Velmi suchý na jazyku. Karamel, spousta melasy, v dochuti pak lehká nahořklost, lékořice a opálené dřevo. (80 b)
Body: 83
Shrnutí: Tento rum se používá hlavně do míchaných nápojů. Vůně je oproti chuti výrazně zajímavější. Stylově i vzhledem k ceně a hlavnímu účelu použití nemám žádné výhrady, na grog nebo třeba do tiramisu musí být super. Ale dá se pít i normálně samotný.
