Myers's Original Dark

Wanted to try this for years but rarely see it. Unlike most other reviews on here I find it to be a lovely sipper. Niceand warm on the throat with a full mouth of burnt toffee, pecan, orange and creamy butterscotch. Very enjoyable will become a regular now I know where to purchase it. Looking forward to trying it in a dark and stormy.

As described "Voni jako lucni kviti a chutna jako rana pesti." :-)

Appearance: dark amber
Aroma: Molasses
Taste: Sweet then bitter
Flavor: medium strength molasses
Texture/Body: medium
Finish: long, sweet, bitter, wood

Way too much molasses and caramel and no real depth to speak of. As generic as rum can get. Fine in a coke here and there.

Dark and strong molasses flavor. Hint of burnt caramel but not in a bad way.

This is a must for any rum collection, a number of cocktails use this

A pretty decent rum for a mixer but far too strong and not well balanced for a sipping rum. It does it's job well for a cocktail but very lackluster taste when left on it's own.

Especially good as a 'float' on Rum Runners and Piña Coladas. A truly outstanding dark rum!

I was introduced to Myers by my sea-loving rum-loving brother back in the 70's. It has been my go-to rum ever since. My preference is the way it was first served to me - Myers and Tonic with lime. I'm a bit older now and have modified it with diet tonic but still love it. My brother moved on to the high-end Anniversario Rum but I have stayed vigilant.

First Rum I have ever tasted, almost 20 years ago.
Bought from a Liqueur Store in Miami.
Back then I was excited with a Planters Punch.
Few months ago tasted again, straight, awaiting memories to come back.
Nothing came!!
Just some sugar cane taste was still interesting.
