The Real McCoy 3Y Distiller's Proof 0,7l 46%

The Real McCoy 3Y Distiller's Proof is a bold white rum from Barbados that combines the freshness of a younger rum with the depth gained from three years of aging in select bourbon barrels. Thanks to subsequent filtration through charcoal, it retains its clear color with a light oak undertone, but offers much greater complexity in both flavor and aroma than you would expect from a typical white rum. The Distiller's Proof variant is also bottled at 46% ABV, which gives it a fuller character and a more pronounced profile.

About The Real McCoy:

The Real McCoy is a Barbadian rum brand inspired by the true story of the legendary rum runner Bill McCoy, who became famous during the American Prohibition era for selling unadulterated, honest-to-goodness alcohol. This is where the famous phrase “the real McCoy”—meaning something genuine and authentic—comes from. The brand builds on this idea by emphasizing authentic rum without unnecessary additives, while respecting traditional Barbadian production methods.
