The Real McCoy 12 Year Rum

The Real McCoy 12 Year is an aged Barbados rum from the Foursquare Distillery — matured in ex-bourbon casks for a rich, smooth profile of Demerara sugar, maple, vanilla, and caramel, with no added sugar, flavoring, or coloring.

Named for Bill McCoy, the Prohibition-era rum runner whose honest, unadulterated spirits gave rise to the phrase “the real McCoy,” this 12-year expression carries that same commitment to authenticity. Distilled and aged at Foursquare in Barbados, it delivers genuine depth from over a decade in oak while staying true to a dry, additive-free style. Enjoy it neat, over a large cube, or in a premium rum cocktail.
