Myers's Original Dark

5.7?? what a crime. this is a 7 at least lmao. makes a mean mai tai and is cheap aswell

coke lime rum and have fun ! u wont sip this but from the price it could have been thought.

It was a lot of fun to see this classic appear in BC Canada recently: private stores only of course. Molasses, oak, earthy, coffee, cola, leather. It makes for a strong base in Tiki drinks calling for Jamaican, but my taste for hogo has me reaching for newer Jamaican marques.

ok it s not a rum you drink neat, but top a mai tai with it and you ll see this rum purpose ...

Considering the price i could have known what to expect. At least I did not try it neat. I tried it in a Dark and Stormy... Just a waste of good ginger beer.

Typical dark flavor notes turned up to 10. Would stay away from drinking straight up but can work well with the right mixers (Sunset or Mai Tai)

This rum I quite enjoyed. Delicious, and a true dark rum that incorporates flavors that leave the palate surprised.

Mixes excellently, good on the rocks, but can be overpowering at times.

If you like a very dark, almost bitter rum then this is the rum for you. Not a bad rum just too dark for me

If you’re going to be making some dark rum drinks buy it. Not sipping alone.

This has been a staple of my home bar for YEARS! It tastes good straight (fairly smooth, lots of molasses, because, again, it's dark, it's supposed to taste like molasses!) and I used to drink it with either orange juice or pineapple juice pretty regularly, "...when I wore a younger man's clothes." It's not a "great" rum but it is a very good one and it works well in most mixed drinks as it is at least one of the best truly DARK rums that I've had. There are definitely others that rival it but it's a winner regardless.

It should always be kept on hand when having guests over for cocktails. Making a Mai Tai? No problem! Banana Colada? You bet! Eggnog? Absolutely! Planter's Punch? Look no further! Even a Dark and Stormy...BUT WAIT!, where's the spice?...It's called St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram Liqueur and if you enjoy rum cocktails, this should already be in your house and can be used to make Myers spicy! If you don't know, now ya know! I absolutely consider this to be an essential bottle in my home bar. I would recommend buying it immediately if you ever drink a cocktail at home and honestly, it's better straight than its rating suggests (5.7...? Really??? Silver Chair Coconut and Ron de Jeremy Spiced are rated around or above it...seriously?)
