Real McCoy Single Blended 5-Year

Yeah, not really impressed, it'd do in a pinch, but this is definitely a rum for mixing, not sipping. Not nearly as good as some other 5 year rums like the Plantation Barbados or the El Dorado 5. Mount Gay has more character for sure. For me, this one is mostly alcohol on the nose. Taste, a bit of vanilla and cinnamon, and other mild flavors from the bourbon casks, hint of wood, but not a lot else going on here other than alcohol. Dry, rough around the edges for sure.

Dette var den første rom vi blev præsenteret for.
En fin 5 års rom som kan drikkes af alle og som her blev brugt som ind justering af smagsløgene ;-)

Smells of butterscotch with some woody notes. Goes down smooth with a sweet flavour. No complaints. A bit expensive for a five year but its a better rum than most.

With a nice blend of vanilla, honey and caramel all coming from bourbon barrels, this rum is just plain delicious. This is the standard whenever you need a good, aged rum

Heard a lot about Real McCoy decided to try. Certainly not bad as a sipper, better if toned down with a splash of club soda. Tastes fairly strong straight, a bit bourbonish. My preference leans sweeter so only going 6

We had it at False Idol as part of a tasting. still very sweet, caramel and brown sugar, but with some banana? oily still, and keeping the heat. a lot of the char from the barrels.

This one was given to me as a gift. I like it, I think it is a good rum.

Golden in color. A soft bourbon and a hint of alcohol on the nose. Oaky, quite dry and really bourbonny flavors at first and turns into a long oak/nutty after taste. A bit too dry for my taste, but I'll enjoy it somewhat.

A good solid rum for mixing or drinking neat. Lovely Barbados flavours

Brush me barnacles! This run has bite! Aye, she be sweet smellin' with a decent amount of caramel and oak, but there also be somethin' warm and baked and buttery, a hint of banana, and a wee bit of spice. She'll bite your tongue for sure, and she not be as sweet as she smells, but she be enjoyable nonetheless. The oak and the caramel come aboard first, along with whatever it was that was warm and baked and buttery. The banana, not so much, but the spiciness carries, along with a nuttiness towards the end. She has a fatty smooth mouthfeel - like the kind you don't mind payin' extra for when stuck at port - and zero burn goin' down the hatch. Aye, this be a decent sipper! Not as outstandin' as The Ship's Doctor (Real McCoy 12-year), but still fierce. What do you expect from an intern? arrgh!
