Distillation and production

Production method

Produced primarily from Jamaican molasses; fermentation followed by both continuous (column) and pot still distillation; maturation in white oak barrels and subsequent blending. The dark colour of the Original expressions is also achieved through caramel and/or addition of molasses after distillation, according to official sources.

Distillation

Continuous (column) and pot still distillation; blending of multiple distillates to achieve the final profile.

Ageing

Aging in white oak barrels; blending after maturation; some expressions receive special cask finishes.

Producer history Myers'S

The brand was founded in Kingston, Jamaica in 1879 by Frederick Louis Myers. Over the 20th century ownership changed hands—passing to Seagram and later to Diageo; since 2018/2019 the brand has been part of the Sazerac Company portfolio. The rum used for the blend is traditionally linked to Jamaican distilleries such as those in Clarendon.

Production philosophy

To highlight the characteristic profile of Jamaican rum through bold blends, maintaining a robust and distinctive profile suitable both for classic cocktails and for more refined tasting expressions within the range.

Territory

Origin Jamaica (founded in Kingston); primary production connected to distilleries in Clarendon Parish; brand distributed globally and owned by the Sazerac Company (USA).
