Well balanced rum to sip or to make really delicious cocktails! Not to much sweetness and a bit harsh finish.

Having enjoyed a bottle of The Real McCoy 5 yr rum it was time to open up a bottle of The Real McCoy 12 yr rum. Being produced by Foursquare Distillery I had great expectations and was not disappointed. This rum is smooth, unadulterated and is right up my alley. Not quite a “10” but certainly a 9+ rating. Well done Mr. Seale.

I enjoyed this one. Strong and complex flavors with bourbon notes. If you like bourbon and want a good crossover, this is it.

Reminds me of Appleton 21yo. Stronger burn with tones of raisines. Nice aftertaste with cocoa.

Attended a tasting seminar for The Real McCoy at Cardiff Rum Festival on the weekend. Was incredibly well presented telling us of the provenance of the name being of Bill McCoy and rum running schooners.

A good blend of barbadoan, blackstrap molasses rum aged for a minimum of 12 years in heavily charred, American oak ex bourbon casks. It's a quality sipping rum the really encapsulates Barbados in a glass. Aromas of tropical fruit and spice fill the nose enveloped by smoky oak. It's a sipper through and a decent one at that. Wonderful flavour too smoky and oaky but undercut by touches of tropical fruit, cacao and spice very subtly balance the liquid. No added sugar in this rum either the sweetness comes purely from the blend.

Coming in at £44 It's a little pricy in my opinion and for rum schooner history I would favour the kirk and sweeney 18.

Ikke lige mig, er mere til de søde rom. Men den smager bestemt ikke dårligt, og er en ganske fin rom at sippe. Umiddelbart finder jeg Vanilje, Kokos, appelsin og tobak.
Den efterlader en olieret fornemmelse i munden, hvor man kan smage den lidt mere søde eftersmag.

Very nice sipper. What is it about Barbados! Over ice, let it sit and chill.

This is another "12 year old rum" that is trying to be great but just can't deliver the goods. It's yet another "vanilla and oak" rum. No spice, fruit notes and very little heat. It's very one dimensional.

Mixed with coke its a vanilla coke with a kick. Mixed in juice and the flavor is off for some reason.

I'm glad I tried it and although its not as balanced as an Appleton 12 year its still a good rum.

Good rum. For a 12 year it is fairly complex and has a nice mouth and finish.

Just had a glass of this rum, not much impressed, the taste being nothing stepping out of the conventional...

Initially a lot of black pepper / chili? followed by sweetness and clear features from charred bourbon cask (vanilla and some smoke). Soft finish that lasts a long time.
