TheRealMcCoy5YearOldRum(700mL)

<p>A beautiful five year-old Rum from Barbados with a beautiful texture and full palate.</p><p><em>“The Real McCoy”</em> — this phrase has become synonymous with authenticity and quality. <em>Bailey Pryor</em> is a writer and documentary filmmaker who was researching the man behind the phrase — a Rumrunner named <em>Bill McCoy </em>who skirted the edges of the law during Prohibition. The 2012 documentary was titled “The Real McCoy” and it won Bailey five <em>Emmy Awards</em>. But he wasn’t done. He went back to Barbados and struck a deal with<em> Richard Seale</em> of the famous <em>Foursquare Distillery </em>to develop a line of rich, unadulterated Rums that would make ‘ol Bill McCoy proud.</p><p><em>The Real McCoy 5 Year Old Rum </em>is the Rum that Bailey Pryor started with. It’s the <em>core Spirit</em> that serves as the real and sentimental foundation for the entire lineup. Like its sisters, it is a blend of column and pot distilled Rums from Barbados that’s been aged for five years in<em> ex-Bourbon casks.</em> And true to the ethos of ‘ol Bill McCoy, it’s produced with no added sugars, flavorings, perfumes, or chemical stabilizers. That makes this easy sipper about as <em>authentic </em>as you can get.</p><p><u>SmartassCorner:</u><em>Bill McCoy would take his boat to the Caribbean and return to New York loaded with Rum. He’d park the boat strategically — just over the three-mile limit to stay in international waters. He never watered down or added flavorings to his contraband, which earned him a reputation for quality… his products were “The Real McCoy” and his customers would come to him.</em></p>
