The Real McCoy Rum is based on the story of Bill McCoy, the pioneer rum runner of the Prohibition era. In January of 1920, McCoy was the first to fill a boat with alcohol in the Caribbean, sail it up to New York City, and legally act as a floating liquor store three miles off shore.

McCoy became famous because of the purity of his rum, since his principle was to never make adulterated, unlike most alcohol dealers of the time. 

In today's world, Real McCoy Rum, is a pure rum with no added sweeteners, flavours or chemical stabilisers - and using only the finest molasses combined with pure spring water from the Barbados Islands. 

The rum is small batch distilled in a rare artisan combination of copper pot & column stills, then authentically tropically aged in heavy char American Oak bourbon barrels for a full 3, 5 or 12 years.
