Hello everyone im new here, id love some advice for the mccoy bottles.

Is this black lable 12 year prohibition edition the same as the, premium 12 year foursquare prohibition edition with the white label?

how do the 10 year limitid edition or the regulat 12 year bottles compare to these ones? is it just the age?

Thank you

The white version is 50%, aged in bourbon and virgin oak barrels. The black is 40% or 46% aged in heavy char bourbob barrels (there are two versions). Heavy char barrels offer more dark flavours like leather, chocolate. The 10y is 46% but like the white version. Virgin oak can remove bad flavours and make a young rum smoother but also at the cost of good flavors. I would prefer the black version with 46%, then the white with 50%. If you are on budget, then the 10y version with 46%.
