Foursquare The Real McCoy 12 Years

Most enjoy its smooth, authentic, sugar-free profile with vanilla, coconut and oak. Critics miss power, distinct personality and a longer finish. Consensus: quality, easy Foursquare starter, not a nerd bottle.

    Ein rum der königsklasse. hat mir sehr gut gefallen

    Vanille und Holz, bleibt aber nicht lange.

    Bardzo dobrej jakosci rum

    I think that the Real McCoy is the top brand from Foursquare, except for the ones named Foursquare. The nose is fruity and woody. At the palate it’s fruity, woody, roasted, round and spicy. The finish is quite long for a rum at just ABV 40.
