Myerโs 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.

Classic flavour as a mixer in many island drinks but too harsh for drinking neat. There are much better options for that.
If I want to add funkiness to a cocktail, this is my go-to Rum :)
the perfect Jamaican mixing rum. Typical Jamaican taste. dark brown and nice. recommendable.

Not a good sipper at all. Used it in a dark and stormy and that's how I will finish the bottle. I can barely get past the burnt plastic taste even as a mixer. One and done. Or maybe down the drain.

I am a regular Rum n Coke drinker and usually I use Havana Club 7 or Kraken. Not anymore! I am surprised for low rating of this amazing dark rum!! I got it full of suspision after this rating to see why on a barrel of rum its rated so low. I opened the bottle and ooohh smells strong!!. Glass and ice and Myers's original dark ..smells like caramel ,leather..(?) , molasses all over the room, added Coke and first sip...Absolutly the best rum n coke I ever had in many years!! Myers's original dark is the best dark rum for Rum n Coke and Dark n stormy!!

A flavor mix of molasses and toasted oak, pretty dry and soft.
Great for making Old Fashioned. But a bit to harsh for use as a sipping rum.

Basic, nothing to make it stand out. Another one that is acceptable given lack of better options.

Starts with a heavy aroma that leads to a distinctive taste. This is not a sipping rum, it is the perfect rum for mixing with carbonated drinks, coke being the most favorite. I like it with 7-up or Sprite for the lighter side, also good with other runs for blending.
A true classic that should be in every bar...
