Barbados | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still Distilled
The Real McCoy is a blend of rum produced from the distillation of blackstrap molasses, using a combination of both column and pot stills. The rum is aged for 5 years in Kentucky bourbon barrels, then blended with Bajan spring water.
The Real McCoy rum's heritage is based on the story of Bill McCoy, the pioneer rum runner of the prohibition era. McCoy fueled the Roaring Twenties by delivering over 2 million bottles by sea to New York speakeasies. He became well known for always delivering undiluted alcohol, unlike other rum runners who cut the liquor with prune juice, wood alcohol, or even turpentine, That is why he and his product became known as "The Real McCoy."

Forse si sente un po’ troppo l’alcol all’inizio però poi resta un buon sapore in bocca.
RO: un rom asemanator gustului de wisky: caramel, vanilie, si o tenta lemnoasa . e primul mccoy pe care il incerc , in principiu mi se pare sub doorlys dar mai am de incercat )
de apreciat la toate romurile sub egida foursquare- rom curat, fara adaos de zahar
un rom intre 7 si 8 , dar mai aproape de 8
EN: a rum similar to the taste of whiskey: caramel, vanilla, and a hint of wood. it's the first mccoy I'm trying, in principle it seems to me under doorlys but I still have to try)
to be appreciated with all the rums "made by" foursquare - clean rum, without added sugar
a rum between 7 and 8, but closer to 8
Every bottle leaving foursquare screams quality.
Being only a 5 years old this rum is already packed with caracter
It's pure unadulterated rum from a very respected distillery. Very solid mixer, and decent sipper. Light buttery, oaky, bourbon taste. If you're a bourbon drinker you will like this.
Capitalism has gone so far wrong if this can be found online for five quid more than Diplomatico Mantuano would be in a supermarket.
How have we built a society that values stuffing sugar in over flavour? I enjoy a pudding every now and then as much as anyone, but something is skew whiff here.
Very delicious rum, caramel, hint of spice. Curious apple hint. The other reviews are right, it is a bit bourbon.
Great rum for someone new to the spirit. I say this because the flavor profile is very simple and basic, and it is quite smooth and not overly aggressive with burn. Flavors of oak and brown sugar come through for me with the oak lingering on the palate following deglutition. I'm actually a bit surprised with how simple the profile is given the 5 yr aging, comparing it to other 5 yr aged rums like plantation barbados 5 whose flavor I find more bold relative to this. Given its simplicity it would be a good addition to any cocktails that call for a lighter rum such as a daiquiri or el presidente, however would be lost in cocktails that demand a more bold rum whose flavors are meant to pull forward to the front. Given the simplicity of the profile and $30 price tag, I would say better off going with the plantation 5 yr for a couple dollars cheaper, it's just a better rum. OR splurge an extra 10 dollars for the much more robust and complex McCoy 12 yr if a more advanced rum drinker that desires more complexity from a sipper. I think the script that accompanies the 6/10 rating here explains it best, this rum is tasty, but not quite great.
Slight oak
Very smooth. Easy to sip with no chaser
Sampled at Laka Lono April 4, 2021, a fine Easter treat.
This rum has flavor upon flavor.
The nose is vanilla, and among the many flavors are both birthday cake and butterscotch.
7/10
EDIT
Also tasted July 3, 2022 at Laka Lono (the Laka Barrel)
Notes: Medicinal nose, orange toffee flavor.
5/5 raises rating here to 8/10
Very smooth mouth and throat feel leading into a short warming finish. Dry and bland with almost no discernable flavors (maybe some vanilla sugar??). I can't find the flavor anywhere. Maybe it's just my palate. Still sippable because of smoothness and not being to sweet. I think there are a lot better offerings out there for the price.
Update 2 months later: Still not tasting anything. There's to many other rums with flavor out there. Dropping to a 5.
