Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

[MJL]

Myers's Jamaican Rum has always had a well earned reputation for producing a high quality, easily drinkable molasses spiked darker rum but what about its less famous, less well known clear brother?

NAME: Myers's Platinum White Rum

PRICE: $21.99-$31.99

LOCATION: Jamaica (Kingston)

COLOR: Clear

NOSE: Medicinal, alcohol, tingly, very light butterscotch

TASTE: The flavors are most definitely rum but not particularly intense or complex. The palette is approached with a very clean, fresh flavor. Tastes tend toward the light brown sugar but are very light with slight alcohol burn on the tongue.

AFTERTASTE: There is not much here for aftertaste. The slight butterscotch flavor combines with the medicinal nose to end in a clean anisette-like flavor that lingers moderately for about 45 seconds.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Myers's Platinum White Rum could be one of the best mixing Rum's on the market today. It has enough flavor to warrant its purchase over cheaper but similar products that lack the flavor in this bottle. I would purchase this Rum again for mixed drinks. It holds it's own against mixing ingredients and still delivers excellent value for money.
