Real McCoy Single Blended 12-Year

Long time bourbon drinker here and all I have to say is WOW, I’ve been missing out on this one. Definitely some oak, a bit of smoke and a tad of coconut for me. The viscosity is fantastic. A little bit of heat with a long spicy finish that’s not too harsh. A nice warm Barbadian hug!!

RO: gama mccoy imi este foarte aproape de stilul whisky, dar daca ar fi wisky ar fi in gama superioara ) .
apropiat de cel de 5 ani cu aromele pronuntate de caramel si vanilie si cu o lovitura a alcoolului destul de puternica. dar se simte ca i mai batran ) mai finisat, mai rotunjit
par a fi ceva fructe tropicale pe fundal care tradeaza originea sa de rom de barbados.

EN:
the mccoy range is very close to the whiskey style, but if it were whiskey it would be in the upper range).
close to the 5-year-old with pronounced aromas of caramel and vanilla and with a strong hit of alcohol.but it feels older) more finished, more rounded
there seem to be some tropical fruits in the background that betray its origin of Barbadian rum.

Good rum, much better chilled with an ice cube to break the surface, but take the cube out or drink quickly as not to water it down.

Tasted at Laka Lono July 3, 2022
This is the Laka barrel.
Nice nose on this rum.
It seemed a little hot - enough so that my notes indicate it had the effect of warming my ears. !!

Barbados rums are very good and this one is not far behind

Very good rum. Would recommend it to all with just some ice.

Definitely taste the bourbon influence here. Very sippable rum and my very first.

Slight oak aroma. This is a very nice rum that tastes very similar to a whiskey or bourbon. Slight charred oak taste on the front end. Very smooth and taste that dissipates slowly.

This was the Laka Lono Limited Edition 12-Year single barrel batch. Dark brown. Much better once you add a single ice cube. Otherwise too hot and unidimensional compared to the tastier 5 year.

It’s better than the 5 year as you would expect with more flavor. But a tad less smooth thank other Bajan rum like Forgotten Casks from Chairmens Reserve.
