Myers's Strana 1 z 1

The brand Myers’s Rum was founded in 1879 in Kingston, Jamaica, by merchant Frederick Louis Myers (Fred L. Myers), who decided to change his career and invest in local rum. His goal was to create an authentic Jamaican dark rum based solely on local molasses and traditional distillation methods – an exceptionally rich and bold spirit rooted in family tradition.

Since its founding in 1879, the brand has evolved under the guidance of the Myers family for two generations. In 1955, it was acquired by the Canadian company Seagram to expand its portfolio of Jamaican rums. It later came under the ownership of Diageo, and in 2018, it was purchased along with other brands by the conglomerate Sazerac for $550 million.

Myers’s Rum is distilled at Monymusk Distillery (Jamaica) using a blend of 9 different rums from molasses, which undergo a combination of column and pot still distillation. The resulting distillate ages in American white oak barrels for up to 4 years to achieve its characteristic dark color, caramel notes, and rich flavor depth. This distinctive characteristic has been preserved by the brand for over 140 years, and it remains one of the most famous Jamaican dark rums in the world.
