Varieties of Myers's Rum at a liquor store in Fukushima City, Japan

Myers's Rum is a brand of Jamaican rum produced by Sazerac. Named after brand founder Frederick Louis Myers, the molasses-derived blend of up to nine rums has been produced since 1879. Myers's rum uses "only pure Jamaican molasses" and is "produced from continuous and pot still distillation and is then matured for up to four years in white oak barrels".[1]

The dark rum is commonly used in mixed drinks. It is also a common cooking ingredient in a variety of both sweet and savory recipes.

In November 2018, Diageo sold Myers's Rum and various other brands to the Sazerac Company for $550 million.[2]
