    The good starter rum in the Barbados Foursquare world. Nothing necessarily outstanding or unusual, but still a solid bottling with good quality as usual. A little too reduced for me in the meantime.

    Overall a rum that can’t disappoint anyone in my opinion. We were some friends teaming up at Cane Rum Society in Stockholm to celebrate Foursquare Appreciation Day. One of the rums I tasted was this Real McCoy which is a blend of rums 10-12 years old aged in American Virgin oak and former Bourbon casks. It’s a Limited edition of just 3000 bottles, bottled in 2017 at ABV 46%.

    This rum has a very good price to quality and a good rum for beginners as well. The nose has oak, fruit and spices from the start and then there is a hint of caramel. This is easy to pick up if you leave the empty glass for a few hours and then nose it. The palate is lightly dry and sweet with oak and fruit vith some vanilla and then chocolate and caramel is trailing behind. The finish is medium long with oak and spice trailed by chocolate and caramel.

    The nose is caramel, vanilla honey and fruit. In the mouth it is beautifully spicy, with lovely woody tones and only very light fruit. The finish is beautifully long, the spices continue. Conclusion: Very good rum for the money
