Myers‘s Original Dark

Bought me some bottles cause I couldn’t find Goslings to a competitive price cause I needed some dark rum to make Dark ‘N’ Stormys during the quite short Swedish summer. Tasted it first neat against Goslings Black Seal. Myers’s was then a clear winner because of nose and finish. When making the Dark ‘N’ Stormy contest I think it’s up to one and each of us to decide. When using Myers’s you get much more rum feeling mostly because of the finish. I prefer Myers’s but Goslings is also great so I think it’s all about personal opinion and taste.

delicious....my favorite rum with black sherbet from pepsi or sinalco....can be drunk well...not booze

Very solid price-performance ratio. Clean no missing tones. Very dark. However, I find the alcohol strength and complexity a little lacking. Well suited for mixing. However, it is not a must-try

12.11.2022 Going through samples at home. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Round, light wood, caramel, spice, fruits, lightly sweet, plum, dried fruit. Palate Light wood, medium sweet, fruits, dried fruit, light citrus, caramel, light prunes, light medicinal. Finish Medium long, wood, fruits, light citrus, light medicinal, light caramel, faint herbs.

One of my favorite mixers at CubaLibre. It's quite simple on its own. But while others poured Havana3 into the CubaLibre, I preferred this one. Edit, I stick to it, this rum will always be something special, as it accompanied me faithfully through my CubaLibre intoxications in my youth.

Tagesausflug Bielefeld April 2025. Kneipe faces Restaurant & Bar. Ein Rum den ich nie im Leben kaufen würde. Würzig und alkoholisch in der Nase. Am Gaumen auch sehr alkoholisch, außerdem rauchig und holzig. Dunkle Schokolade und Kaffee sind auch erkennbar.

great value here. I paid 15€ for a liter. gives clear jamaica notes and molasses, which also was most present on the palate. Obviously it's not meant to be sipped but mixed, and in those cocktails who aks for such a molasses powerhouse, it works really well.

"Drinkable" is a great word for this rum. It's got an okay nose; gingerbread and dark fruits, and the palate isn't bad with dark chocolate and pleasant musky notes, but it soon leads into a finish that is far too smoky for my taste and really ruins the experience.

So it's really the last drink of the evening, you go to pay and find something you've never drunk behind the bar: let's go for it. Frankly, it's enough to make a pancake batter or a cannelé, but no more. Still, there are a few nuances of taste that stand out, like a salted butter caramel with prunes!

I'm not impressed by this rum, maybe because I'm used to Venezuelan rums. But it's definitely not very round and the chemical note is very high. Jamaican rums are incredible, but not this one, although within its category it is interesting.

Excellent for the price

absolute entry level in jamaica range, a little thin but for a 18€ rum and to make uncomplicated drinks absolutely fine.

It's what you pay for 🤷♂️ I kept coming across it in recipes for tiki drinks, so for that I bought it.

You expect something sweeter and rounder than it delivers. Good for mixology.

Good rum and also for cooking
