Myers's Original Dark

During the last 25 years that I have been drinking Myersś Original Dark, usually two or three bottles a year, I have fund their production to be uneven. Usually it is a good standard rum that works on any given day but now and then I get a bottle that has a slight bitter aftertaste. Don´t know why but it keeps me from buying a new bottle for a while. But then the next one is fine and so on.

I didn't figure out how to enjoy it at first, but the texture was silky smooth. The sweetness isn't as apparent as the Malibu stuff but it was satisfying to drink.

I tried it neat just to get a feel for the flavor. Heavy molasses but interesting and not too bad but i think it will be much better mixed.

Nez et gout typiquement plummer jamaïcain de colonne avec de la mélasse ajouté. Il me rappelle fortement le wray and nephew mais vieilli et avec cette touche métallique en fond. C'est un mixer et rien d'autre. Il se marie pas trop mal avec du cola ou du jus mais il se marie parfaitement avec du dr pepper.

Wanted to try this for years but rarely see it. Unlike most other reviews on here I find it to be a lovely sipper. Niceand warm on the throat with a full mouth of burnt toffee, pecan, orange and creamy butterscotch. Very enjoyable will become a regular now I know where to purchase it. Looking forward to trying it in a dark and stormy.

As described "Voni jako lucni kviti a chutna jako rana pesti." :-)

Way too much molasses and caramel and no real depth to speak of. As generic as rum can get. Fine in a coke here and there.

Dark and strong molasses flavor. Hint of burnt caramel but not in a bad way.

This is a must for any rum collection, a number of cocktails use this
