The Real Mccoy Limited Edition 14 Year Rum

Only 500 cases of this were made, and The Fat Rum Pirate notes it never left the US — the Real McCoy Limited Edition with Madeira casks in the blend. Bill McCoy never cut his liquor — that's why Prohibition drinkers called his rum the real McCoy — and Bailey Pryor was filming a documentary about him when he met Richard Seale of Foursquare; in 2013 they launched The Real McCoy: honest Barbados rum with true age statements and no sugar, color, or additives. The Limited Edition is pot-and-column Foursquare rum — with a high ratio of pot still, per the label — aged a minimum of twelve years, roughly 90% in ex-bourbon barrels and 10% entirely in ex-Madeira casks, married and bottled at 46% ABV in a 2016 run of 500 cases; check your label for the stated age of this bottling. The Rum Barrel compared the makeup to Doorly's 12 with the proof turned up, and notes the Real McCoy range runs woodier than other Foursquare expressions — built for bourbon drinkers. Ruminations, tasting the small-batch Madeira release, found it very good. Expect the Foursquare signature of vanilla, coconut, and toasted oak with the Madeira cask's dried fruit, nuts, and savory oxidation, the higher proof giving it presence, finishing long and dry. Honest note: a collector's Real McCoy and one of the few ways to taste Foursquare's Madeira wood without chasing an ECS. Neat, with a drop of water. Foursquare, honestly labeled, at 92 proof.
