With more than 100 awards worldwide, these rums are small-batch artisanally crafted by The Real McCoys 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. The Real McCoy Rums are “Single Blended” meaning that they come from a single estate and are a blend of heavy and light distillates from copper pot and copper Coffey stills. Bottled for the 100th anniversary of Prohibition, the limited-edition Prohibition Tradition rum is a 100 proof expression that pays tribute to William McCoy’s bootlegging run at the start of Prohibition. It’s a single blend of 12-year-old rums that were aged in American ex-bourbon and virgin white oak casks. Mature, elegant, and complex, this release is limited to a scant 6,000 bottles.
