Myers Rum 750ml

Production:

Myers Rum is a renowned dark rum from Jamaica, celebrated for its rich and complex flavor profile. Founded in 1879 by Fred Myers, the rum is crafted from a blend of pure Jamaican rums, which are distilled from molasses derived from locally grown sugarcane. The rum is aged in oak barrels, which imparts depth and character, creating a spirit that embodies the essence of Jamaican rum-making traditions.
