Myers's Original Dark

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.

Bought a liter of this several years ago at duty free. Bit harsh and molasses-ly for me. Sat for a while before I realized it's a good mixer in the tiki drinks I make from now and again.

I love this one for topping the maitai or a mojito. In the kitchen it is also a good one, dark rum rules

Seriously, I thought, years ago, that this reminded me of a black, coal tar based cough medicine called Rem. It's that bad. I just wonder why I ever bought a second bottle.

I've heard good things about Myers's, and how it's a classic, but I didn't feel the magic. There was an intense plastic taste, though it came in a glass bottle. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I'm rating this a 3 since it may have just been a bad batch, but I'm disinclined to try Myers's Original Dark again.

Like others have said, not the best but a step up from sailor jerry and bacardi for mass party consumption

Bought in San Fransisco for something different. Nothing special but more than drinkable.
