Real McCoy Single Blended 12-Year

Vanilla, oak, orange and egg nog in aroma; vanilla, caramel, berries, pepper and smoky end of the body; lasting mild tail.

Sharp nutty syrup on the nose. Tastes woody and spicy before moderated by sweetness. A bit of floral background. A bold sipper, but probably a bit pricey to hide in a complex cocktail.

Sweet, thick, balanced blend of dark fruits and oak, nothing really standing out.

Received this as a gift and was a bit apprehensive by the name. After looking into the brand and tasting the rum it’s great! Dark, sweet and reminds me a bit of a bourbon.

Long time bourbon drinker here and all I have to say is WOW, I’ve been missing out on this one. Definitely some oak, a bit of smoke and a tad of coconut for me. The viscosity is fantastic. A little bit of heat with a long spicy finish that’s not too harsh. A nice warm Barbadian hug!!

RO: gama mccoy imi este foarte aproape de stilul whisky, dar daca ar fi wisky ar fi in gama superioara ) .
apropiat de cel de 5 ani cu aromele pronuntate de caramel si vanilie si cu o lovitura a alcoolului destul de puternica. dar se simte ca i mai batran ) mai finisat, mai rotunjit
par a fi ceva fructe tropicale pe fundal care tradeaza originea sa de rom de barbados.

EN:
the mccoy range is very close to the whiskey style, but if it were whiskey it would be in the upper range).
close to the 5-year-old with pronounced aromas of caramel and vanilla and with a strong hit of alcohol.but it feels older) more finished, more rounded
there seem to be some tropical fruits in the background that betray its origin of Barbadian rum.

Good rum, much better chilled with an ice cube to break the surface, but take the cube out or drink quickly as not to water it down.

Tasted at Laka Lono July 3, 2022
This is the Laka barrel.
Nice nose on this rum.
It seemed a little hot - enough so that my notes indicate it had the effect of warming my ears. !!

Barbados rums are very good and this one is not far behind

Very good rum. Would recommend it to all with just some ice.
