I make rum
Most of Myers's history is as an outstanding Jamaica rum. In the 1920s, it had the second largest aged reserves of any Jamaica brand. In the 30s/40s, was arguably the most prestigious Jamaica brand with releases up to 40 years old. Its slow decline began after acquisition by Seagram in 1950s.
