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
- Vanilla and caramel
- But: Fairly light

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by Nivius
Vanilla, vanilla, tobacco, leather, wood, cinnamon, spices and a hint of ripe fruit.In the nose even a little uhu bastelkleber.For the Plv a really cool rum, very mild, good alkoholeinbindung and still a lot of flavor and especially tasty, even if you do not find any extraordinary flavors in it :3
Review by Richard Krupa
The Real Mccoy bottles are my favourite. 12y 40% and 12y 46% are very similar. Delicate flavour, vanilla at the beginning, then teochu sussi
