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.

Nothing for a special occasion, but fine to mix with on a hot summer evening.

I tried this several times in Jamaica. Flavor was OK but no real complexity and a bit too much burn on the short finish. I would reserve this for mixing.

I like my Rums neat, this is definitely a mixer. It has some "nice" weird flavours going on when neat, but it really does seem to work great as a mixer.

Dark, full of flavor, you could sip it. It makes killer Rum&Coke and Rum&GingerBeer. It's better than Gosling Black Seal.

One step up from stuff like Bacardi black or goslings. The pot still funk keeps it interesting.

I really like this rum , it does have a bold taste, but that is what I need for some of the island drinks I love. And I do enjoy the sweetness.

Neither funky, nor oaky. Nonetheless it has a satisfying intensity, stemming mostly from molasses. Whenever cocktail recipes call for a "dark Jamaican rum", I use this one.

I cannot believe this has been rated so poorly by so many. This is a good solid dark rum. It is the standard by which all dark mixing rums are measured. It is not contrived marketing hype like Kilo Kai. It was not created to out merchandise competitors like Kraken. This is real rum and has been for almost 150 years. This blows Goslings away. Smooth and deep with plenty of body. Some nice smoke and coffee notes with a bit of funk. Try it again rum ratings comrades. This deserves better. Every bit of an 8 for me.
