Myers's Reserve Dark Rum

Reserve Dark is Myers's stepping up — the Original Dark's richer, older sibling, released in 2024 as part of the brand's premium push under Sazerac. Myers's is the original Jamaican dark rum, made since 1879 when Frederick Louis Myers created it in Kingston, and still produced primarily at Clarendon Distillery in Jamaica from pure Jamaican molasses distilled on both continuous column and pot stills. Reserve Dark takes that house blend and gives it longer aging in white oak, selected by Sazerac master blender Drew Mayville — the man behind the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection — and bottled at 40% ABV; check your label for the exact age. Myers's describes it as richly layered, revealing its charm gradually and culminating in a splendid mid-palate where dried fruit, baking spice, and cocoa powder come forward. Expect the Original's molasses and brown sugar deepened by oak into something darker and more structured: a nose of treacle, dried fig, and toasted wood with the Jamaican banana funk underneath, opening into a fuller palate of dark caramel, raisin, cinnamon, and cocoa with a gentle pot-still hogo, finishing longer and drier than the Original. Honest note: this is a premium dark rum in the Myers's house style — sweet-leaning and colored, built to bridge the cocktail bottle and the snifter rather than to compete with cask-strength Jamaicans. For a serious Planter's Punch, a Rum Old Fashioned, a Jungle Bird, or neat over one cube, it's Myers's, aged up.
