Process & Profile

The Real McCoy Rum 3 Years Old is a single blended rum, crafted by combining pot still and column still distillates. This dual approach creates a balanced profile, blending the bold flavors of pot still rum with the lighter, nuanced notes of column distillation. Aged for three years in American oak bourbon barrels with a #7 char, the rum gains complexity and character from the wood. After aging, it undergoes a unique charcoal and limestone coral filtration, removing most of the barrel's color while preserving its vibrant flavors and aromas.

  • Nose: Bright citrus, vanilla, confectioners' sugar, and a subtle touch of coconut.
