Myers’s Original Dark Rum is a Jamaican dark rum brand originating in 1879. It’s a blend of up to nine rums, distilled in both pot stills and continuous stills, using molasses as the fermentable base. After distillation, the rum is matured up to four years in white oak barrels. It is then darkened with caramel and given flavour depth that makes it a classic for mixed drinks, cooking, and baking.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Deep, dark mahogany with reddish-brown tones.
-
Aroma: Heavy molasses, dark sugar, vanilla, subtle roast, leather, hints of tobacco and oak.
-
Palate: Sweet entry—molasses and dark chocolate; caramel and burnt sugar layered with spice, dried fruit (fig/raisin), oak tannins; minor smokiness and earthy undertones.
-
Finish: Long warmth; lingering caramel and sugar, with oak bitterness, smoked sugar and a touch of spice.
-
ABV: 40%
Serving Suggestions:
Great in classic rum cocktails like Dark ‘n’ Stormy or Rum Punch. Works well with cola or ginger beer. Also excellent in baking (rum cakes), sauces, or as a flavour boost in desserts. Neat on ice for those who enjoy deeper rum character.
