The Real McCoy 12Y 100 Proof Limited Edition 0,7l 50%

The Real McCoy 12Y 100 Proof is a limited-edition Barbadian rum, created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of Bill McCoy’s story and the era of American Prohibition in 1920. That is why it is bottled at 100 Proof, or 50% alcohol by volume. This exceptional rum was aged for at least 12 years in both new oak barrels and used barrels that previously held premium bourbon, and was produced in a limited run of just 6,000 bottles.
