Real McCoy Single Blended 12-Year

Solid rum from start to finish. Nice balance, not too sweet or too much burn. I just don’t think there was anything memorable about this to warrant the price tag.

Not the best rum I’ve tasted from Barbados but it holds its own. Very satisfied!

Rum jsem koupil v akci a jsem mile překvapen. Jedná se o velice slušné pití.

I have this and the Doorly's 12yo side by side to compare. The Doorly's is 43% while the McCoy is 46%

They are both really lovely rums, that I enjoy a lot.

The McCoy is possibly the better. The nose is slightly fuller, and the body is softer, richer and fuller. However, the Doorly's has a much better finish. It's a purer rum and one that has an acidity to it that isn't masked by the oak, which gives it a much longer and fuller finish that is also a lot more complex. It show's up it's cousin in quite a big way. But if I had to choose one, it would be hard as I do like oak, but then I really do like a long finish.,

And then there is the elephant in the room.......PRICE.

I get these from the importer - same company does both. The Doorly's 12yo is 45% cheaper, and that makes the McCoy a real non starter, however nice it is. This McCoy 12yo is only just a bit cheaper than the Doorly's 14yo. Therefore I cannot see myself buying this again.

So many new start up rums sourcing stock from great distilleries like Four Square. Tried it prefer the real thing, don’t like middle man rums that tend to be over priced for what you get. One time purchase not worth the investment.

Beau rhum de dégustation trouvé en Ontario. Dégusté avec des amis, amateur de rhum en fin de semaine dernière. Très doux avec une belle longueur en bouche.

Smells of the oak smell of tropical aged rum. To be brutally honest these feels dialed down in flavours when coming from the famous Foursquare distillery.
It comes in at 44 quid for a bottle of this delicious oak and chocolate but alongside doorleys XO save your money on this one and but the xo ... Quality rum that's been unadulterated but poor for a 12 year ...

This is really well made rum. Rich amber in color with a pleasant orange hue. Pleasant but slightly aggressive nose of spice, fruit and alcohol. Terrific mouth filled with more going on than I have the experience to describe. The finish is perfectly balanced and suprisingly short. This is an excellent product, but is a tad less sweet than I prefer. Just me.

Tastes like it has to be for a real, non sugared rum. This is rum. Not much more to it, but it is great.
