The Real McCoy 3 Year Old Rum (75cl, 40%)

A Barbados rum distilled at Foursquare Distillery in St. Philip, aged three years in heavily charred ex-bourbon barrels. It is a single blended rum, combining pot and column still distillates from one estate, made from blackstrap molasses and pure spring water, charcoal-filtered, with no added sugar, caramel or flavouring. The brand is named for Captain Bill McCoy, the Prohibition-era rum runner. The nose brings bright citrus and delicate floral notes over soft vanilla, banana and buttery oak, followed by a silky palate of caramel, coconut sweetness, ripe banana and marzipan, and a light, refreshing finish. It is intended for cocktails such as a daiquiri, Rum Old Fashioned or highball with lime.
