The Real McCoy 3 Year is a Barbados rum distilled at the Foursquare Distillery from blackstrap molasses, using a blend of pot and column still spirit, then aged three years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels. Created by Bailey Pryor in tribute to Prohibition-era rum runner Bill McCoy, it offers a smooth, unadulterated profile with notes of vanilla, toasted coconut, buttery caramel and subtle oak spice.
