    Packed with dark chocolate, woody molasses, and a touch of smokiness, Myers‘s Original Dark is beloved for its rich, classic Jamaican character. While complex enough to enjoy neat, the RumX community swears by its value in cocktails—especially thanks to its distinctly bold molasses notes.

     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.

     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.
