Most people land on this as a dependable, spice-forward Foursquare — oak, vanilla, toffee and burnt sugar, with a woodiness the virgin oak clearly leaves behind. A few call it their easy way into Barbados rum; others find it a bit too woody or too smoothed-out, and one taster was plainly let down by the virgin-oak direction. Honest, drinkable, not exciting.
The community says- Warm spice
- Vanilla and toffee
- Keep in mind: Can read woody

Spicy, oaky everyday Barbados sipper Well liked as a spicy, oak-and-vanilla everyday sipper at 46%. Some feel the virgin oak makes it a touch too woody and reduced; one member found it flat and underwhelming.

Overall a rum that can’t disappoint anyone in my opinion. We were some friends teaming up at Cane Rum Society in Stockholm to celebrate Foursquare Appreciation Day. One of the rums I tasted was this Real McCoy which is a blend of rums 10-12 years old aged in American Virgin oak and former Bourbon casks. It’s a Limited edition of just 3000 bottles, bottled in 2017 at ABV 46%.

The good starter rum in the Barbados Foursquare world. Nothing necessarily outstanding or unusual, but still a solid bottling with good quality as usual. A little too reduced for me in the meantime.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum has a very good price to quality and a good rum for beginners as well. The nose has oak, fruit and spices from the start and then there is a hint of caramel. This is easy to pick up if you leave the empty glass for a few hours and then nose it. The palate is lightly dry and sweet with oak and fruit vith some vanilla and then chocolate and caramel is trailing behind. The finish is medium long with oak and spice trailed by chocolate and caramel.

Nose: Ripe bananas, sweet, vanilla, oak. Palate: oak, vanilla, dried fruit, caramel, toffee Addendum: Image
Review by Lukas Jäger
A "Limited Edition" Real McCoy - almost a random Foursquare bottling? Well, what do you expect from a supermarket brand. Solid rum from Barbados, very sweet, but I do imagine tasting the influence of the Virgin Oaks. Woody, not really round notes, which are somewhat smoothed over again by the sweetness. In my opinion, not necessary!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
a little too woody but still very tasty and very dry!
Review by w00tAN
The nose is caramel, vanilla honey and fruit. In the mouth it is beautifully spicy, with lovely woody tones and only very light fruit. The finish is beautifully long, the spices continue. Conclusion: Very good rum for the money
Review by Jus Liens
This is a dessert rum, quite round and caramel without being too sweet. Oily, creamy, fatty. A glug-glug rum. Easy to drink. A must-have in your cellar for guests who don't like rum too much. Nice surprise.
Review by Tomas Mileris
Nice rum for siping
Review by Chuck Nörris
Very good rum, pleasantly surprising with its spiciness, which you wouldn't expect just from the smell alone.
Review by K.STRIFE
Very smooth! Flavors of caramel, vanilla, and oak with a hint of sweetness. The empty glass smells smokey and sweet after sitting for a few minutes
Review by Richard Krupa
Very good, mild taste

Expert review by RumRock
Read full review ›Foursquare rums have been experiencing a real boom over the past year. It's hard to get new bottles because once they are stocked in online shops, they are practically gone immediately. That's why it's necessary to look for suitable substitutes that are still available, reasonably priced, and of similar quality.
Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review ›I didn't get a great deal of complex spices or much else unfortunately. I don't think Virgin Oak is the way forward for me. I'll be honest had I tried a sample of this, I doubt very much I would have bought the bottle. A very rare disappointment. This just...
