More questions
The Rum 12 yo Distiller’s Proof 70cl - The Real Mccoy is an authentic tribute to Caribbean traditions, produced in the historic distillery of Barbados, the homeland of this iconic spirit. Made exclusively with high-quality molasses, this rum is aged for at least 12 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, giving it a complex and refined structure.
In the glass, it presents an intense amber color, while on the nose, rich aromas of vanilla, toasted wood, and spicy notes such as cinnamon and clove unfold, accompanied by fruity hints of banana and ripe coconut. The taste is full-bodied, smooth but also bold thanks to its remarkable alcohol content, which highlights the robust and authentic character of this rum, leaving a long and enveloping aftertaste with accents of caramel and sweet tobacco.
Perfect to enjoy neat or with a splash of water to fully release its nuances, this rum pairs excellently with fine cigars, dark chocolate-based desserts, or even spicy Caribbean dishes, ideal for those seeking an experience rich in history and depth.
