Myers rum has been produced since 1879 and is named after its founder, Fred Myers. Myer’s Original Dark Rum is a blend of up to nine different rums of various ages, all of which are distilled using Jamaica's typical production method: pot-stills. The Original Dark Rum is slightly unique in Jamaica, however, because some of the molasses used earlier in the process is added back in after distillation.

The platform flavor is intensely cocoa-like, then at midpalate, the taste leaps into deeper cocoa/bitter-sweet chocolate territory before turning lean and keenly bittersweet, oily and chocolaty in the finish.
