Myers's Original Dark

It's the cornerstone of dark mixing rums. Enough said.

Caramel and burnt toffee nose and spicy,fiery finish.

This tastes like whisky and I hate whisky. I tried to drown the flavor with some orange drink, which I love mixing with Light out Gold Rum, but that just highlighted the smoky funk of this rum.

Follow the recipe on the back of the bottle to make the best colada's!

A normal dark rum, nothing special about the flavour and not really smooth enough to drink straight.

Neat.. Nope, but this stuff is excellent in a variety of Foofoo drinks. Good rum N coke too!

Obviously there is a reason why people drink so much Rum and Coke and the reason is that there are so many Rums that are made for it -like this one

Love this with Pepsi max lime that brings out the flavour

I was introduced to this as it was poured on top of a white rum stone sour cocktail in a round glass with crushed ice.Don't forget to garnish with a cherry to make a tasty rum swizzle.The dark Myers was notably tasty the first time I tried it 25 years ago as I was sucking the crushed ice out of the bottom of the glass. It was my first exposure to dark rums.It certainly has a unique flavor. On its own it's fine to drink with a bit of a mixer. I always keep a bit of this old friend around the house to use in those emergencies when I have run out of richer darks. It's usually available on the shelf of most liquor stores. That bumps it up a notch in my view.

Still tasty, but not the same as many other darks with more to offer. Fine for most mixing, but I would always choose another given a choice.
