The Real McCoy Rum

About The Real McCoy Rom

The Real McCoy is distilled at the acclaimed Foursquare distillery on Barbados and built on the idea of delivering an honest, classic rum without artificial additives or sweetening, just as Bill McCoy allegedly never diluted his smuggled goods during Prohibition. That makes the rum a solid, authentic choice for anyone who appreciates Foursquare's craft.

History & Background

Bill McCoy was one of the most famous rum runners during American Prohibition in the 1920s, known for never faking or watering down his goods, giving rise to the phrase "the real McCoy" for something genuine and unadulterated. Bailey Pryor revived the story with the rum series The Real McCoy, distilled by the respected Foursquare distillery on Barbados.

Production & Style

The rum is distilled at Foursquare in both pot and column stills from molasses and aged in oak barrels with no added sugar or colour, true to the philosophy of an honest, unadulterated rum.

Signature Style

Honest, Classic, Unadulterated
A classic, well-balanced Barbados rum with notes of caramel and tropical fruit, bottled with no added sweetness or colour.
