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."

I like the flavor as a sipper but it seems very light. This is a top shelf mixer for me.
This is my go to rum when I run out of my favorite ( in my reviews soon) as it mixes well and adds to but doesn't take over my rum based cocktails. Not sure it's worth the price but I will continue to keep it in stock.
Yeah, not really impressed, it'd do in a pinch, but this is definitely a rum for mixing, not sipping. Not nearly as good as some other 5 year rums like the Plantation Barbados or the El Dorado 5. Mount Gay has more character for sure. For me, this one is mostly alcohol on the nose. Taste, a bit of vanilla and cinnamon, and other mild flavors from the bourbon casks, hint of wood, but not a lot else going on here other than alcohol. Dry, rough around the edges for sure.
Smells of butterscotch with some woody notes. Goes down smooth with a sweet flavour. No complaints. A bit expensive for a five year but its a better rum than most.
With a nice blend of vanilla, honey and caramel all coming from bourbon barrels, this rum is just plain delicious. This is the standard whenever you need a good, aged rum

Smooth aroma, softly sweet, a mixture of molasses, brown sugar, spices (cinnamon, and ????) and warming alcohol.
The aroma transfers into the flavor but not quite as smooth. Softly sweet molasses, hints of vanilla and oak. Quite a bit of char from the barrels makes it a bit course and bitter. The bitter and numbing character carries on through for a long bitter finish and subdues any other soft nuances that may be there.
The body is a bit lighter than I expected.
Overall a competent rum. Not in a league with the 12 year Real McCoy which is much more refined, complex, smoother and a far superior rum.
At $27 not priced badly but in this class there are other rums that fill the bill with better value.
Mixed in a simple Barbados rum punch the rum does shine and comes forward better than say a Mount Gay Eclipse ($18) but is on par with the Black Barrel which costs the same and may be a bit smoother.
Worth trying but probably not something I'd keep on hand.
