Myers’s Rum Original Dark is a 100% pure Jamaican Rum. It’s made using only Jamaican molasses and distilled using continuous and pot stills. After distillation, it’s matured for up to four years in white oak barrels. The result is a rich, dark rum with hints of caramel and burnt toffee, almost like black treacle. What makes the Original Dark Rum unique in Jamaica is that some of the molasses used earlier in the process is added back in after distillation.
Available in a 700ml bottle, at 40% abv.
TASTING NOTES
Buttery upon entry and followed by sweet sugar cane, caramel, tobacco, leather, honey, dark chocolate with elements of raisin and fig. The finish has a decadent dark chocolate character with brown sugar and smokiness with underlying oak notes.
