Review by Stefan Persson
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%.
Review by w00tAN
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
Review by zabo
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.
Review by K.STRIFE
Very smooth! Flavors of caramel, vanilla, and oak with a hint of sweetness. The empty glass smells smokey and sweet after sitting for a few minutes
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.

Review by Lukas Jäger
Ein „Limited Edition“ Real McCoy - quasi eine x-beliebige Foursquare Abfüllung? Naja, was will man bei einer Supermarkt-Marke auch erwarten. Solider Rum aus Barbados, sehr süß, aber ich bilde mir doch ein, den Einfluss des Virgin Oaks zu schmecken. Holzige, nicht wirkliche runde Noten, die von der Süße wieder etwas glatt gebügelt werden. Braucht man in meinen Augen nicht!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
a little too woody but still very tasty and very dry!

Nice rum for siping
Review by Chuck Nörris
Sehr guter Rum, überrascht positiv mit seiner Würzigkeit, die sich durch den Geruch alleine zunächst nicht erahnen lässt.

Moc dobry, jemna chut

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"I didn't get a great deal of complex spices or much else unfortunately. I don't think Virgin Oak is the way forward for me. I'll be honest had I tried a sample of this, I doubt very much I would have bought the bottle. A very rare disappointment. This just..."Read full review →
