The first sip is a definite smoky bourbon flavor, then the finish is all rum. Very smooth. A nice subtle molasses finish, but not sweet.
This rum has a very nice flavour, slightly smokey, yet really smooth. Has to be one of my top 5 for sure.
Great flavour, picked this up since I couldn't find any Four Square. Good rum with lots of complex flavour.
Very smooth taste, without anything that stands out above the rest. True rum flavor, and not particularly aromatic - light vanilla and rum scent. Flavor profile is similar - rum, not overly cloying or sweet, hints of age and vanilla. Eminently sippable.
Truly delicious. Love the nuances of vanilla and butterscotch. This is the one I have as my day to day sipping rum.
This really good, smooth rum. Not a mixer, drink it neat or with a cube of ice.
Verkostet wurde die Distillers Proof Version mit 46%/vol. Alkohol.
Beim dritten Anlauf endlich folgender Eindruck.
Satte goldbraune Farbe.
Leichter Anflug von Alkohol in der Nase begleitet von Orangennoten.
Trockener Rum mit süßen Aromen von Dörrobst, Rauch, Vanille und Holz.
Der Alkohol ist weiter sehr präsent, wird aber nicht unangenehm scharf. Im Gegenteil. Der Rum ist äußerst rund und ausgewogen, der Geschmack eine Wucht.
Der Abgang ist warm und lang. Der Rauch bleibt weithin wahrnehmbar, während sich eine leichte Bitternote bemerkbar macht.
Ein hervorragender Sipping Rum, wenn man mit dem etwas höheren Alkoholgehalt klar kommt.
Nicht für alle Tage.

Has some very Bourbon like sweet/sour like notes.
"It is rich, intense and quite spicy. Very oaky yet not overly dry."

Aptly named. Top-notch.

At first the name was a bit of a turn-off. I thought it was a cliche marketing trick of using a recognizable name with positive connotations but no relation to the actually product. I was pleased to learn that the name comes from a 1920s prohibition-era rum runner named Bill McCoy, who never watered-down or adulterated the rum he was selling, thus earning a reputation for himself. They called his spirits "the real McCoy." (The phrase pre-dates Bill, and there is a good amount of marketing storytelling here as there is no direct link between him and the current production, but it's nice to know there's a real story all the same.)
This is a great 12-year-old Bajan rum with no added sugar. Along with the other offerings from Foursquare and Mt. Gay, this makes for a fantastic "benchmark" sipping rum, with notes of oak and dry caramel. Took a few minutes to open up, but once it did, it was very nice, indeed. I think it has quite a bit more character than the NAS MGXO, and is a little dryer than RL Seale's Finest. This is probably also the smoothest of the bunch. To me, RM12 competes with Foursquare's cask series, just without the level of nuance/interest those ones offer.
Compared to the already-excellent Real McCoy 5-year, the taste is very similar, making it difficult to justify the extra expense of the 12. The 12-year is slightly smoother, and has a richer nose of brown/demerara sugar. The 12 is clearly a more refined/enjoyable sipping rum, so grab it if it's within your budget, but I was surprised at just how good the 5 was, so feel no regrets about trying that one instead if your budget's tighter (or if you want an exceptional mixer).

I would love to do a side-by-side tasting with this, Doorly's 12-year (finished in ex-Sherry casks) and RL Seale's Finest—the latter two appearing to be significantly better values from the same distillery. But you can't really go wrong with any of these :)
(PS, I don't understand how anyone could rate this less than a 6, but apparently some have very different standards than the site's rating suggestions. [Also, wow, this rum must have excellent distribution in Denmark!] At the time of this review, the rating without these peculiar outliers would be 8.04, rather than 7.58.)
Update: 8+, 8 :)
