The surprise here is coconut — several tasters call out "verboten gute Kokosnuss," alongside the usual Foursquare vanilla, oak and orange peel. At 50% the alcohol goes down easy, with burnt sugar and a light smoky-tobacco edge. A brief glue note on the nose blows off with air. One or two find it leans a touch too woody and bitter for their taste.

How does Foursquare The Real McCoy Prohibition Tradition taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Coconut-and-oak Foursquare at a well-judged 50% Most tasters call this the best McCoy yet — round, sweet-woody Foursquare with coconut and orange. The catch: a few find it a bit too oaky and dry.

The higher ABV improves the overall profile and I like it lot. Sweet and fruity with nice spicy palate and a light smoky note. Nice warm palate and a wonderful nose in the empty glass.

Great coconut-heavy nose, the taste comes for me but not ran
Review by Tim
Delicious rum from the house of Foursquare with a round and pleasant nose. In the mouth, a clearly perceptible sweetness mixes elegantly with a smoky tobacco notes, which is why this rum is not overly dry and spicy. Also on the finish remains something smoky, even if caramel and co dominate.
Review by w00tAN
Light fruit on the nose, orange peel, spicy, woody, nutty. Initially mild, sweet in the mouth, then rather nutty until the spiciness takes over. Strong, dry and woody on the finish. Nice integration of the alcohol Beautiful Foursquare with top PLV
Review by MoMcGurk
This was just a nice rum. Strong oak flavor. Sweet. Little after burn. When mixed, the oak scent comes out and it’s an overall pleasant drinking experience.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
A little too woody and bitter / sour for my taste. But from McCoy probably the most exciting to date mMn!
Review by F.L.O.
The best McCoy I've had so far. The tasting participants are also enthusiastic every time. The 50% goes down like butter. Typical Foursquare notes with a little more almond and vanilla. I'll have to get another bottle :-)
Review by Sventrinkt
Not quite my taste, it's a little too woody for me. Nevertheless, a really good rum at a high level. The alcohol is well integrated, the complexity is fun and gives Raul something to discover. You should definitely try it in peace, because it develops when it breathes a little.
Review by Christoph
Forbidden good coconut. The longer the rum is in the glass, the more fades the glue note that is there at the beginning.
Review by Rum man
We find the typical Foursquare markers in this rum but a bit more to the woody side. I was surprised to find an apple smell and some orange in the flavour. The extra bump in ABV does it well. It brings out extra intensity in the flavour while the alcohol remains well integrated. There is a pleasant roundness to this rum.
Review by J. Fundin
Tasteful! Sweet, fruity, some orange peel, oak and burnt sugar. Definately not the last Real McCoy
Review by Jarek
Alcohol very mild, very round, dark chocolate
