Process & Profile

This standout expression from Myers’s Signature Cask Collection begins with their classic Jamaican dark rum, distilled from 100% molasses using a blend of pot and column stills. The rum undergoes a secondary maturation in barrels that previously held George T. Stagg, a 15-year-old, barrel-proof bourbon from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
