The idea to finish our Myers's Rum in various whiskey barrels came from a desire to add several more layers of complexity and flavor to the rum. What better way to do that than using our award-winning Buffalo Trace Antique Collection barrels? Each expression of the Myers's Rum Signature Cask Collection would have a unique influence because of the type of whiskey barrel that it was finished in. The idea was to optimize each expression by not only the type of whiskey but also by adjusting the proof to maximize the impact of each. These whiskey cask finishes would pair well and add depth, richness and complexity with Myers’s intrinsic dark rum characteristics. I would say that the vison that we had turned out to be a smashing success and definitely a dramatic change from typical rum finished in whiskey casks.
