Myers’s Rum, the original Jamaican rum with more than 140 years of tradition, announced two new collections comprising six spirits: the Signature Legends Collection, with its inaugural “Legacy Blend #1” created in partnership with Foursquare Rum’s Master Blender Richard Seale; and the Signature Cask Collection, featuring five aged rums each finished in barrels previously used to mature the iconic whiskeys from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. 

Each release embodies Myers’s Rum’s rich history and centuries-old tradition of sourcing, distilling and blending the best rums from around the world.

Acquired by the Sazerac Company in 2018, Myers’s leaned into the experimental mindset Sazerac is known for in bourbon production to push the boundaries of the premium rum category. Each of the six new expressions have been crafted by Sazerac Master Blender Drew Mayville, who has worked with all the award-winning products from Buffalo Trace Distillery.

“In crafting these rums, we focused on sourcing and experimenting with outstanding spirits and producers to create category-redefining products,” Mayville said in a news release. “With these new collections, we’re crossing spirit categories to see how the flavors interact, challenging ourselves to think creatively to develop products that entice consumers to try something they may not have previously considered. The results are truly exceptional.”
