Foursquare The Real McCoy 12 Years

The surprise here is how gentle a 46% Foursquare can be. Coconut, vanilla and cinnamon lead, backed by caramel and a light nutty edge, with a whiff of glue-like oak on the nose. One member calls it a "super Barbados sipper" — mild, well-integrated alcohol, easy to drink. Not the most unusual bottle, but honest and tasty.

The community says
  • Mild, integrated alcohol

Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money in my mind. Nice well rounded, sweet and fruity profile with spices and caramel. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some chocolate and light nutty flavours.

The Real Mccoy bottles are my favourite. 12y 40% and 12y 46% are very similar. Delicate flavour, vanilla at the beginning, then teochu sussi

Avg Rating 8.3/10 over 630 Rums

Few distilleries inspire the devotion Foursquare does. Bought by Sir David Seale in 1995, distilling since 1996 and run by master distiller Richard Seale, it has become the most awarded and most collected rum producer of the modern era. Its cask-strength Exceptional Cask Selection releases sell out in minutes.
