Myers's Original Dark (1L, 40%)

A Jamaican dark rum blended from rums distilled in pot stills and continuous stills, made exclusively from Jamaican molasses. After maturation in white oak casks, the rums are blended together. The brand began in 1879 with Fred L. Myers in Kingston, Jamaica, and became known internationally for Jamaican rum. This bottling is at 40% abv in a 1 litre bottle without gift packaging. The nose shows strong molasses, with coffee, celery, allspice, hazelnut, toffee and a hint of ripe pineapple. The palate opens buttery, then sweet cane, caramel, tobacco, leather, honey and dark chocolate, with raisins and figs. The finish is led by dark chocolate, with brown sugar and smoke, and oak in the background.
