Myers's Platinum White

Not much flavor, but at least not as harsh or gasoliney as some other white rums in its price range. El Dorado 3 yr, Matuasalem Platino, Denizen - all much better choices for a white rum. Banks 5 Island can't be beaten if you want to spend substantially more money.

For years I've enjoyed Myers's Dark as a reliable mixer so I had high hopes for this. The Platinum tastes like a milder Jamaican rum, but it has a subtle industrial flavor to it. It's fine with cola or other mixed drink when choices are limted, but there are others I prefer. I'd rate this 4.5 if I could.
