Myers's Singature Cask Collection William Larue Weller Jamaican Rum

Boldly distinctive and layered with character, this limited-edition rum from Myers’s Signature Cask Collection brings together Jamaican molasses-rich rum and the storied depth of bourbon-barrel finishing. Expect indulgent molasses and dark-fruit sweetness grounded by American oak warmth and subtle bourbon spice—a rum for sipping and discovery.

Origins & Craftsmanship

The base is Myers’s Jamaican dark rum—crafted from 100% molasses, distilled via a combination of pot and column stills, and matured in traditional oak barrels in Jamaica. For this special Signature Cask expression, after its primary maturation, the rum is finished in barrels that previously held William Larue Weller, a famed wheated Kentucky bourbon from the Bourbon Antique Collection. The finishing barrel imparts unique bourbon-cask nuances to the rum’s tropical core. The release is bottled at approximately 83 proof (41.5% ABV), highlighting both the rum’s heritage and the barrel finish concept.

Critics Reviews

• Industry commentary notes that Myers’s rum “marks a sharp evolution in the brand’s premium strategy,” with these barrel-finished editions adding “depth and crossover appeal” by blending Jamaican rum tradition with American bourbon barrel character.

• Retail tasting notes for this Weller-finished version describe aromas of brown sugar, overripe banana, toasted oak and caramel; on the palate, flavors of dark cherry, toffee, vanilla and baking spices dominate; the finish is smooth, long and sweet-oak driven.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Deep mahogany colour in the glass. Aromas of brown sugar, molasses, ripe banana, butterscotch and toasted oak appear first; hints of leather and warm tobacco from the bourbon barrel finish add complexity.

• Palate: Full-bodied and intense, with rich caramelized sugar, toffee and dark chocolate joined by vanilla, toasted coconut, and a dash of baking spice (clove/ cinnamon). The influence of the bourbon barrels adds subtle oak char and nutty depth without overt bourbon dominance.

• Finish: Smooth and lingering. The sweetness of oak and caramel persist, with soft notes of charred oak, brown sugar, and gentle peppery warmth edged by vanilla and sweet nut.
