Real McCoy 12 ans 40° : Description and customer reviews

Real McCoy 12 ans is a traditional rum from the Foursquare distillery in Barbados. It is aged in American oak barrels that previously contained bourbon.

Nico's tasting notes

The nose immediately reveals a very fine aromatic concentration, centered above all on woodiness. Toasted coconut, a faithful ally of Barbados rums, is present here in all its splendor. It's a truly charming nose that gives an impression of authenticity. The wood is raw, reminiscent of sawdust or oak shavings on the nose. Then it seems as if these shavings have been toasted, releasing a multitude of fine spices. This toasty woodiness also reveals some delicious, caramelized roasted nuts, including walnuts and pecans.
Aeration doesn't alter this impression of concentration, with a typical solvent exhaling the vanilla contained in the wood. The nose doesn't become more aggressive, it remains straightforward, still with those roasted nuts. The latter are perhaps a little more dried, as if they had been truly roasted. An orange liqueur then mingles with hydrocarbons. They don't come across as industrial or sharp, but rather in the vein of the small solvent, aroma carriers. The richness of a spiced apricot and apple compote makes you want to dip your lips in it.

The palate opens on molasses, with a good kick in the butt that's contained and balanced. It's woody, very tasty, and almost chocolatey. The rum is warm as it diffuses, and also honeyed. It doesn't veer off course, with aromas of cane sugar, coffee, molasses and caramelized nuts.

For the finish, the rum squeezes out its last aromas, and vanilla crashes onto the tongue, embellished by wood that is alternately varnished and toasted.

"A very fine rum from Barbados that emphasizes the woodiness and aromas brought on by the cask. It is nevertheless mellow and well-balanced and offers a very nice consistency..."
