The Real McCoy Prohibition Tradition 12 Year Rum

This is the Real McCoy 12 in its original Prohibition Tradition packaging — the same Foursquare rum, Tastings.com's 94-pointer, under the earlier label. 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, the number the youngest drop in the bottle, and no sugar, color, or additives. The 12 is pot-and-column Foursquare rum aged a minimum of twelve years in ex-bourbon barrels in Barbados, bottled at 40% ABV. Inu A Kena found orange, oak, allspice, burnt crème, and vanilla on the nose — utterly delightful — blended from some of Seale's finest aged stocks. RumX: a smooth, honest, bourbon-leaning Barbados rum with vanilla, coconut, and oak — the Foursquare house style in a soft, approachable, sugar-free package. Rum Ratings: a fantastic benchmark sipper, drier than R.L. Seale's, smoother than the cask series — and one taster found the 5 so close that the 12 is a luxury. Honest note: it's 40%, and enthusiasts chasing intensity reach for the ECS. For a Rum Old Fashioned, a bourbon drinker's crossover, or neat, it's Foursquare, honestly labeled, in the tradition of the man who wouldn't water it down.
