Real McCoy 10
Year Old is a Limited Edition rum that is aged in Virgin Oak casks. This new
expression is produced in Barbados by the Foursquare Distillery known for its exquisite
complex rums. Bailey Pryor’s iconic
brand calls from the prohibition-era and the rum running hero’s like Bill McCoy
who refused to compromise the quality of his products for volume. There will only be 3,000 bottles of this small
batch to be released. A higher percentage of copper pot still
distillate is added to get the depth of
the flavor profile. Two batches are aged separately. The first spends twelve
years in used Bourbon barrels. The second, ages ten years in virgin American
oak casks. Blended to balance flavors of
the two batches and bottled at a hardy
92 proof for this example of an authentic expression of fine Barbados rum.
Aromas of ripe
fruits and nuts with heavy oak and vanilla are enhanced with some funkiness of
other fruits. In the mouth, there is a
taste of butteriness along with that of charred oak, vanilla, toasted nuts and a dried
fruit with a suggestion of caramel. The finish offers long lasting notes of
dark buttered toast and plenty of oak.
The Real McCoy 10
Year Old Limited Edition Virgin Oak Aged Rum appeals to those with the most
discriminating taste and is still while remaining accessible to the enthusiasts
who appreciate small-batch quality and good value. Bottled in the 750ml bottle and retails for
about $60.
