On Wednesday, Myers’s Rum launched a new lineup featuring the first rums ever finished in the highly-coveted Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BATC) casks. Myers’s, which was acquired by the Sazerac Company in 2018, has leaned into more experimental releases in recent years as the brand aims to revolutionize rum production, similarly to how Sazerac did with whiskey.
Each of the new expressions features Myers’s Original Dark Rum crafted by Sazerac master blender Drew Mayville and are finished in barrels formerly used to age George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye, and Eagle Rare 17 Year Old. The five expressions will live in Myers’s brand-new lineup dubbed the Signature Cask Collection. The launch comes on the heels of a similar strategy Sazerac implemented for its Tequila Corazon brand, which launched three añejos finished in some of the same prized barrels in January 2024.
