750 mL | 86 Proof (43% ABV) | Jamaican Dark Rum | Finished in Sazerac 18-Year-Old Rye Whiskey Barrels | Limited Release

Process & Profile

This limited-edition expression from Myers’s Signature Cask Collection begins with their classic Jamaican dark rum, crafted from 100% molasses and distilled using a blend of pot and column stills. The rum undergoes a secondary maturation in barrels that previously held Sazerac 18-Year-Old Rye Whiskey, a renowned expression from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
