THE REAL McCOY® RUM
Bill McCoy was the pioneer rum runner of the Prohibition era who became a household name for selling only the best quality unadulterated spirits, known as "The Real McCoy"
In McCoy's Prohibition Tradition®, our multi-award winning suite of 3, 5, and 12 year aged straight rums are unadulterated -- there are no added sweeteners, flavorings, perfumes or chemical stabilizers. The Real McCoy® is small batch artisan crafted by our 4th generation master distiller using only the finest molasses and pure spring water. The rum is batch distilled in a rare combination of column and artisan pot stills, then authentically aged in heavy char American oak ex-bourbon barrels.
100+ Awards Worldwide. Perfect straight or mixed -- it's the Real McCoy®.

Why Do Ingredients Matter? - Turning flush from that cocktail? Waking up at 3am? Or just not living our best life the next day? Additives & sweeteners can be mild to severe allergens and/or contribute – a lot! -- to hangovers. If we choose to drink, just like being informed & selective about our food choices, less is more. Drink clean, Drink Real. ;)

Distiller’s Proof
92 proof 50 case custom batch program for retailers
hand labeled with unique batch number
The Real McCoy’s answer to a barrel program, our Distiller’s Proof rum is blended in 50 case small batches and bottled at our Master Distiller’s preferred 92 Proof (46% ABV.) Exclusively available to retailers, each batch blend of Distiller’s Proof comes from a small collection of unique barrels. No two batches are alike, and every bottle is hand-numbered.
In the aging house, each barrel contains a blend of rum mixed from specific percentages of copper pot still and twin-column Coffey still distillates. Pot still distillate has a “heavy” flavor profile compared to the lighter style of distillate from the twin-column still. Therefore, as each individual blend is produced, it will contain either a heavy profile or a more traditional profile, depending on the barrel collection of the unique blend. See RumGeek & videos for more.
TASTING NOTES
The “Traditional” flavor profile of our 5 & 12 Year Aged expressions contains more robust fermentation notes at 46% than the 40% ABV, like vanilla, toasted caramel and honey.
The “Heavy” flavor profile at 46% retains the Traditional flavors, plus has more complexity from the pot still and barrel, like earth, char, wood and spice.
How to distiller’s proof: GET CUSTOM
• Retailers, ask your ‘McCoy Representative.
• Consumers & Event Managers ask your local licensed Retailer.
• Choose from custom “Heavy” or “Traditional” style hand-numbered unique batches.
• Signature Ultra Premium Spirit Option for hotels, restaurants, bars and/or special events & celebrations.
• Individual & Unique - Each 50 case batch is never to be duplicated.
