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.

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.

Still tasty, but not the same as many other darks with more to offer. Fine for most mixing, but I would always choose another given a choice.

Bought a liter of this several years ago at duty free. Bit harsh and molasses-ly for me. Sat for a while before I realized it's a good mixer in the tiki drinks I make from now and again.

I love this one for topping the maitai or a mojito. In the kitchen it is also a good one, dark rum rules

Seriously, I thought, years ago, that this reminded me of a black, coal tar based cough medicine called Rem. It's that bad. I just wonder why I ever bought a second bottle.

I've heard good things about Myers's, and how it's a classic, but I didn't feel the magic. There was an intense plastic taste, though it came in a glass bottle. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I'm rating this a 3 since it may have just been a bad batch, but I'm disinclined to try Myers's Original Dark again.

Like others have said, not the best but a step up from sailor jerry and bacardi for mass party consumption

Bought in San Fransisco for something different. Nothing special but more than drinkable.

We bought this one on holiday as we did forget to bring some good rum with us and this was the best looking and most expensive rum we did get there.

As we sipped that one we looked at each other and almost spit it out. We also tried mixing it, but that is no pleasure... I prefer to drink rum straight up, but also mixed we couldn't & wouldn't use this bottle and emptied it to the sink...

Lo compre en el aeropuerto de Orlando en el DutyFree, en México no llega.
Ron económico y con botella en forma de botella de medicina.
Tiene un sabor muy fuerte y sin chiste, solo se siente el alcohol. Nada fuera de lo común.

Virkelig flot farvet rum og til prisen, må den siges at være ganske fornuftig også.
