Myers's Rum

Myers's Rum is a brand of dark rum that is produced in Jamaica. It is named after its founder, Fred L. Myers, who established the brand in 1879. The rum is known for its rich, dark color and distinctive, full-bodied flavor, which is often described as having notes of molasses, caramel, and spice.

History

Fred L. Myers founded Myers's Rum in 1879 in Kingston, Jamaica. The brand quickly gained popularity for its dark, full-bodied rum, which was a stark contrast to the lighter rums that were common at the time. Myers's Rum is still produced in Jamaica today, using the same traditional methods that were used when the brand was first established.

Production

Myers's Rum is made from sugarcane juice, which is fermented and then distilled. The rum is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of four years, although some versions of the rum are aged for up to ten years. This aging process gives the rum its distinctive dark color and rich, complex flavor.

Varieties

There are several varieties of Myers's Rum, including the Original Dark, the Platinum White, and the Legend. The Original Dark is the most well-known variety, and is often used in cocktail recipes that call for a dark rum. The Platinum White is a lighter, smoother rum that is often used in cocktails that call for a white rum. The Legend is a premium, aged rum that is often enjoyed neat or on the rocks.

In Popular Culture

Myers's Rum has been featured in several films and television shows, and is often associated with the tropical and Caribbean lifestyle. It is also a popular choice for making rum cake, a traditional Caribbean dessert.
