Myers's Original Dark

One of my favourite dark rims to sip. Unfortunately it is not readily available in Canada so I can only get it when I go to the US. Great taste when taken neat or with Coke.

Best tasting rum with so many hints of molasses you would think you could pour it on pancakes!!

Really good dark rum. It’s smooth and rich in flavor. I enjoy Coke or Pepsi with 2oz shot. Also very good in other mixed drinks. I’m shocked the rating is 5.8. Should be around a 7.8. Anyway very good rum always mellows me out.

I bought my first bottle of Myers's on a whim in June, the day after I had poured the last drop from my bottle of Gosling's Black Seal, and in my humble opinion, the buck stops here. It melds beautifully with every mixer that I have thrown at it - orange juice, lemon juice, mango nectar, pineapple juice, lemonade, coconut milk, Dr. Pepper, Coca-Cola, and even Arizona Sweet Tea - but at the end of the day, I generally drink it neat. I actually enjoy the fact that it isn't quite as smooth on the palate as Gosling's because it compels me to pace myself, sipping it slowly and taking the time to savor it, and enjoy every nuance of the vanilla and molasses notes.

Ever since I tried this rum, haven't wanted to try another brand. With a strong pungent sweet taste it goes well in coca cola.

El Dorado 8 is my other all-time favorite. This is a bit more sweet. So, not quite as good to mix with Coca-Cola unless twist of lime. Perfect for pineapple juice. Love it!

Great with little ice, tonic, and lime.

A real surprise and a gem of a find. I bought this on the way to check out because it was on sale. A complex nose of banana, vanilla, molasses, sugars. The taste is almost exactly like the smell, which is unusual in my experience, but welcome. Strong banana flavours with an undertone of caramel and molasses. Yes!

Add a teaspoon of water and watch the flavours explode. This would work well as a mixing rum, but it is wonderful as a sipper.

It feels close to Appleton Estate in terms of complexity and flavour. Appleton is perhaps the more rounded and refined relative and this, the more characterful and brash cousin. A nice contrast, I think.

This is a very underrated rum overall (and on this forum). Give it a try at least once and then decide.

Great for professional mixing in so many island drinks. Love to drink straight up though. Maybe too strong for too many. but sad to see so many have rated this so poorly... what is this Rotten Tomatoes? 5.9? really!? should be an 8 at least, Give it another drink if your the type that likes overmixing brown sugar in your peanut butter cookies.

If you want a dark rum, this is easy to find, cheap, and spot on delicious. Amazing with Dr. Pepper
