The Real McCoy rum comes from the story of Bill McCoy, the pioneer rum runner of the prohibition era. In January of 1920 McCoy was the first to fill a boat with alcohol in the Caribbean, sail it up to New York City and legally act as a floating liquor store three miles offshore. The rum is produced by the highly lauded Foursquare Distillery.
THE FLAVOR PROFILE
Smooth and soft with subtle spicy wood notes. Buttery caramel, hints of coconut, toasted caramel and marzipan are present on the palate. Surprisingly complex for a white rum.
