The Real McCoy 12 Year Single Blended Rum

This line of premium and super-premium aged rums originates with the story of Bill McCoy, the pioneer Rum Runner of the Prohibition era. In January 1920, McCoy was the first to fill his schooner with alcohol in the Caribbean and sail it up to New York. Anchoring three miles offshore in what was then international waters, McCoy was able to legally act as a floating liquor store to the speakeasies of Manhattan. Others copied McCoy, but they watered down or sullied the alcohol by adding chemicals like turpentine or wood alcohol in what became dubbed “Booze” or “Hooch.” McCoy provided only top quality, unadulterated spirit - inspiring his product to be known as “The Real McCoy.”

Today, these rums are handcrafted in the Prohibition Tradition - with the same authenticity as the celebrated rum that fueled the Roaring ‘20s - copper distilled, bourbon barrel aged, no added sugars, flavors or aromatics. The rum rivals the top spirits in the world.  This is the genuine article… It's The Real McCoy.
