This is a limited edition release from The Real McCoy. Real McCoy is sourced from Foursquare in Barbados and bottled under this label. This limited releases sees some wine finishing. I tried this bottle blind, and was given the reveal after taking down notes. Let's see how it is.
I usually like woody Foursquares, Doorly’s 14 Year Old is a good example of that, and this Real McCoy is great too, but the bitterness is a tad off-putting and it could’ve been better by Foursquare standards – or maybe I just had high expectations.
Nice body, good mouth feel. No heat. Sweet caramel.
Finish:
Long, rich and complex. Great molasses, brown sugar integration with some fruit like blackberry and currant. Brown sugar and tobacco end things for a clean finish.
Overall:
I like this, it's not built on the most bonkers rum base but it has everything I like, I'd drink a lot of this.
Score:
88
