The Real McCoy Distiller’s Proof Rum

Rum | 46% ABV

Commercial Description:

The Real McCoy’s answer to a barrel program, our Distiller’s Proof rum is blended in 50 case small batches and bottled at our Master Distiller’s preferred 92 Proof (46% ABV.) Exclusively available to retailers, each batch blend of Distiller’s Proof comes from a small collection of unique barrels. No two batches are alike, and every bottle is hand-numbered.
In the aging house, each barrel contains a blend of rum mixed from specific percentages of copper pot still and twin-column Coffey still distillates. Pot still distillate has a “heavy” flavor profile compared to the lighter style of distillate from the twin-column still. Therefore, as each individual blend is produced, it will contain either a heavy profile or a more traditional profile, depending on the barrel collection of the unique blend. See RumGeek & videos for more.

TASTING NOTES

The “Traditional” flavor profile of our 5 & 12 Year Aged expressions contains more robust fermentation notes at 46% than the 40% ABV, like vanilla, toasted caramel and honey.

The “Heavy” flavor profile at 46% retains the Traditional flavors, plus has more complexity from the pot still and barrel, like earth, char, wood and spice.
