Myers’s Signature Cask Collection – William Larue Weller Rum Finish
Myers’s Signature Cask Collection: William Larue Weller Barrel Finished Rum is a luxurious exploration of tradition and innovation. Crafted in Jamaica from 100% molasses and distilled using a blend of pot and column stills, this small-batch dark rum is elevated by a secondary maturation in barrels that once held the legendary William Larue Weller wheated bourbon, part of the revered Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
The result is a richly textured rum that marries the tropical intensity of Jamaican rum with the silky sweetness and depth of aged wheated bourbon. Complex yet approachable, this limited release is a rare opportunity to taste the convergence of two exceptional spirits.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the person who loves both rum and bourbon and has never wanted to choose. Made in Jamaica from 100% molasses and distilled on a blend of pot and column stills, this small-batch dark rum gets a secondary maturation in barrels that once held William Larue Weller wheated bourbon. The nose opens with brown sugar, ripe banana, butterscotch, and toasted oak. The palate turns lush and velvety with dark cherry, toffee, vanilla, baking spice, and a touch of toasted coconut, before a long finish of sweet oak, caramel, and gentle nuttiness. As a limited release, it makes a considered pick for a milestone: a promotion, a retirement toast, or Father's Day for the dad who keeps a bourbon shelf and is curious about rum. It rewards slow attention, so it suits after-dinner sipping and quiet evenings. Encourage the recipient to pour it neat first, then add a drop of water to bring out the bourbon notes, or stir it into a demerara Old Fashioned when friends come over.
Pairs well with
- Pecan pie — The pie's caramelized, nutty filling echoes the rum's toffee, caramel, and subtle nutty finish.
- Dark chocolate with sea salt — Bitter cocoa and salt set off the rum's dark cherry, vanilla, and sweet oak.
- Promotion celebration gift — A limited-release, bourbon-finished rum with layers of butterscotch and baking spice feels like a fitting reward for a hard-earned step up.
Questions about this bottle
What makes this different from a standard dark rum?
