Real McCoy 10 Year Old Limited Edition Virgin Oak Rum

Notes

Foursquare distillery on the island of Barbados is quickly becoming a sensation in the aficionado world of rum drinkers and tiki specialists for its pure, unadulterated flavor and transparency as it pertains to age statements and additives. It's also gaining quite the reputation at K&L for its must-have, limited edition releases, like the Smuggler's Cove blend, and now this incredible 10 year-old "virgin oak" edition. Aged in both ex-Bourbon casks and brand new oak barrels with a dialed-up ABV of 46%, this is the richest and most vanilla-laden edition of the Real McCoy yet. There's more sweetness, more molasses, more spice, and more weight than the standard 12 year edition despite the younger age statement. And, the rum finishes with a Bourbon-like kick. The blend is comprised of the two wood types, aged separately and then blended together. The ex-Bourbon matured component is all 12 years of age, while the virgin oak-aged rum was matured for the entire decade in new oak. Even though it's labeled as a 10 year-old rum, a large proportion of the rum is 12 years old. This limited edition produced only 3,000 total bottles for the world and we were lucky enough to grab a large chunk of it. Grab a bottle while you can!
