"This Limited Edition of The Real McCoy, aged for 12 Years, are a blend of Pot and Column still rum. It’s released at ABV 46% and a mix of rum aged in ex-bourbon casks (90%) and ex-Madeira casks (10%)."
"This version is slightly different than the regular 12 year old and the Madeira Cask aging has definitely smoothed this limited edition. The nose is wonderful and you just want to sit there and keep on enjoying the nose. The palate is woody with oak on the dominant side and fruit and spices coming into the mix a close number two. There is a bit of port/red wine to the palate. The finish is long and oaky with lots of fruit to it. "
"Ah, well, back to the roots. I've started my journey with Foursquare and come back from time to time, as I still like the distillery's profile. At first I was a little put off, thinking the rum being a bit bland and boring. That's something you sometimes read about Foursquare, and not all expressions are up there with the best. I thought this might belong to those as well, and as the bottle was not expensive when I bought it it I was not mad about this. However, some days later the rum had quite a bit time to breathe, and this brought a new dimension of fruit, thanks to the Sherry, that had been hidden from me before. It is still a mild rum though, easygoing and something you can give an unexperienced guest."
"Round and quaffable number, surprisingly dry despite Madeira finish. Personally, it is just a little too thin and woody in the finish. The madeira influence could be much more intense for me."
