The Real McCoy Limited Edition Rum (Madeira Cask) is a distinguished 12-year-old single blended rum produced at the esteemed Foursquare distillery in Barbados. This molasses-based rum is crafted using both Pot and Column Still methods and aged in a combination of ex-bourbon (90%) and ex-Madeira casks (10%). With only 3000 bottles available, this limited release offers a captivating aroma of coconut, vanilla, caramel, toffee, and sweetness. On the palate, it delivers woody, peppery, oak, dried fruit, and creamy notes that have earned it high praise from the RumX community.
Distilled at Foursquare in Barbados, this exceptional rum is matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and ex-Madeira casks. It boasts delightful scents of vanilla, toffee, coconut, and fruit, complemented by flavors of oak, spice, and lemon zest on the palate.
The Real McCoy rum range, named after Prohibition-era rum runner Bill McCoy, is renowned for its commitment to maintaining the integrity of its spirits. Bill McCoy was known for refusing to adulterate the rum he smuggled, even when it would have been more profitable to do so. This dedication to quality is reflected in the exceptional taste and smoothness of The Real McCoy Limited Edition Rum (Madeira Cask).
Complex aromas with notes of vanilla, caramel, coconut, red fruits, sherry, and floral scents.
Smooth and creamy palate with flavors of chocolate, oak, raisin, dried fruit, peppery spice, and vanilla.
Long and lingering finish with hints of bitterness, creaminess, oak, citrus, brown sugar, and raisin.
The Madeira Cask aging has definitely smoothed this limited edition, offering a more nuanced and balanced profile.
The Real McCoy Limited Edition Rum has an ABV of 46% and comes in a 700ml bottle.
This version is slightly different than the regular 12-year-old, with the Madeira Cask aging adding a smoothness that enhances the overall experience. The nose is wonderful, enticing with woody oak, fruit, and spice. The palate is dominated by oak, followed closely by fruit and spice, with a hint of port or red wine. The finish is long, oaky, and fruity, with a surprisingly dry character despite the Madeira influence. Though some find it a bit thin and woody, it is praised for its aromatic complexity and well-integrated alcohol. A great entry point to Foursquare rums, it is mild and round, with a soft voltage, making it a delightful discovery for both purists and new enthusiasts alike.
