Review by Stefan Persson
My overall opinion is that this must be one of the absolute best 5yo rums at around this ABV. The Real McCoy from the Foursquare distillery, has got its name from the legendary rum runner Bill McCoy who sailed rum from the Caribbean to New York during the prohibition era and was well known because he delivered not adulterated rum. His rum was known as The Real McCoy. This rum is a blend of copper column still and pot still rum aged for 5 years in former Kentucky Bourbon casks that’s blended to 46% with Barbados spring water. The nose is fruity, woody and dry with aromas of bourbon, vanilla and leather. At the palate and during the medium long finish if’s full bodied, well balanced and rather complex with flavors of fruits, oak, bourbon, vanilla and spices.
