Distillation and production
Production method
Single‑sourced: distillates produced at Foursquare Distillery; in‑house blends combining pot still (copper pot) and Coffey column distillates, controlled molasses fermentation, reduction with spring water and ageing in wooden casks in a tropical climate. Some expressions are filtered (e.g., carbon filtration for the silver version).
Distillation
Combination of pot still (copper pot) and Coffey column (continuous distillation); produced as single‑blended (blends of distillates from the same site).
Ageing
Tropical ageing in casks (generally 200 L) with on‑island maturation for declared periods (e.g., 3, 5, 12 years); limited editions may use other cask types and different durations.
Producer history The Real McCoy
The brand name and image are inspired by William “Bill” McCoy, a famous rum‑runner from the Prohibition era, and the commercial line aims to evoke his reputation for an unadulterated product. The brand markets aged expressions and special releases made from distillates produced and matured in Barbados at Foursquare Distillery.
Production philosophy
Transparency about ingredients (Ingredients & Serving Facts), small‑batch production, rejection of sweeteners, artificial flavors and stabilizers; emphasis on tropical ageing and the production tradition of Barbados.
Territory
Barbados (production and tropical ageing at Foursquare Distillery).
