Review #635; Rum #123: Real McCoy 14yr LE

Here we have another offering from Foursquare in Barbados through the Real McCoy line. It’s a tale as old as time, pot and column blend, ex-bourbon barrels, tropical ageing! All aged in Barbados before being bottled with no additives. Let’s see if it stands up to other Foursquare offerings.

ABV: 46%

Nose: Vanilla, Dark Chocolate, Raspberry, Black Pepper, Coconut, Tannins.

Palate: Light mouthfeel, Vanilla, Raspberry, Dark Chocolate, Black Pepper.

Finish: Short Finish, Tannins, black pepper, vanilla, toasted brown sugar.

Rating: 5/10

Overall, I got exactly what I expected I was going to get. This is quality Foursquare distillate at a lower proof that will appeal to a wide audience. For me however, this just isn’t too exciting. It’s just fine but there is far more interesting distillate out there for me.
