- Description
- The Real McCoy sources its five-year rum from tropical maturation in heavily charred American oak barrels, delivering vanilla, oak spice, and caramel at 40% ABV. The accelerated aging typical of Caribbean climates creates concentration and smoothness despite the youth of the spirit. A reliable, well-made rum for mixing or casual sipping.
