Myers’s Rum, a stalwart of Jamaican distilling with over 140 years of tradition, has launched two exciting new collections that promise to elevate the rum experience. The Signature Legends Collection and Signature Cask Collection are the latest offerings that reflect the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship while paying homage to its storied past.
Myers’s Rum Signature Collections showcase innovative blends and rare rums.
A Tribute to Tradition: The Signature Legends Collection
The Signature Legends Collection is an intricate blend crafted with the expertise of Richard Seale, the renowned Master Blender at Foursquare Rum Distillery. The Legacy Blend #1 marks the inaugural release of this exclusive line, shedding light on the unique collaboration between these two titans of rum making.
According to Myers’s Rum, this collection is designed to present a curated selection of rare, limited-release rums that utilize innovative techniques and collaborative efforts in blending. With over 70 years of combined industry knowledge, Seale and Myers’s have engineered a rum that tells a story of both Jamaican and Barbadian heritage.
Notably, the Myers’s Legends Legacy Blend captivates the senses with its compelling aroma of tropical fruits—ripe bananas, succulent mangoes, and sharp pineapple—interwoven with deeper notes of molasses and dark sugar. On the palate, it reveals a rich and creamy texture, enhanced by flavors of honey and a subtle spice from cloves. With a long, fruity finish that maintains a lingering sweetness, this rum is an impressive testament to the art of blending.

Elevating Flavor Profiles with the Signature Cask Collection
In an inventive twist, the Signature Cask Collection features five distinct expressions of Myers’s Original Dark Rum that have been finished in barrels previously housing some of the finest whiskies from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Each barrel contributes its own character to the rum, offering a nuanced tasting experience.
Here’s a brief overview of the expressions in the Signature Cask Collection:
- Finished in George T. Stagg Barrels: This expression stands out with bold flavors of dark molasses, complemented by undertones of leather, coffee, and charred oak.
- Finished in William Larue Weller Barrels: Expect a luscious profile jam-packed with brown sugar, butterscotch, and toasted coconut intertwined with ripe bananas.
- Finished in Sazerac Rye 18 YO Barrels: A vibrant blend that marries rye spice with delicate notes of orange peel, enhancing the original fruitiness of the rum.
- Finished in Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye Barrels: This expression offers a layered tasting experience with flavors of pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and tropical fruit.
- Finished in Eagle Rare 17 YO Barrels: Complex and rewarding, this rum combines hints of vanilla, dark fruits, and various baking spices.
All six expressions in both collections are set to make their grand debut in October 2024. They will be available in limited quantities, distributed through Sazerac’s extensive network, catering to the most passionate rum aficionados worldwide.
