Myers's Signature Cask Collection Sazerac 18 Year is a limited-edition Jamaican dark rum finished in barrels that previously held Sazerac 18 Year Old Rye Whiskey, bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV).
It begins with Myers's classic Jamaican dark rum, made from 100% molasses and distilled in a blend of pot and column stills, then given a secondary maturation in barrels from Sazerac 18 Year Old Rye, a renowned expression of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. The finish marries the rich, full-bodied character of Jamaican rum with the bold spice and herbal notes of aged rye.
Rye spice, orange peel and subtle baking spices lead the nose. The palate balances tropical banana, pineapple and vanilla with the sharpness of rye spice, and the medium-length finish lingers with peppery rye and a touch of sweetness.
A rum-meets-rye limited release, it makes a fine gift.
Sip it neat or with a tiny splash of water.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.
Jamaican rum is famous for its rich, fruity character, built on long fermentations and a tradition of pot still distillation.
Finishing a spirit in casks that held another means moving it for an extra period into barrels that pass on some of their previous contents' character, here rye spice and herbal notes.
Myers's has been a name in Jamaican dark rum since the late nineteenth century.
