The Real McCoy 2016 Limited Edition has won awards and garnered great critical acclaim at the Berlin Rum Festival, Rome Rum Festival and UK Rum Festival, and will premier in Connecticut in December. This special spirit can be found at two Mystic restaurants - The Engine Room, and Oyster Club plus at Cask N’ Keg and Universal Package Store (Mystic location).

Bailey Pryor, six-time Emmy® Award winning filmmaker, and founder of The Real McCoy Rum says, “This is a true expression of a Single Blended Rum from Foursquare Distillery, meaning that it comes from a single distillery but is a blend of both Bourbon cask and Madeira cask aged rums. The long-term aging in Madeira casks allows notes of tropical fruit to really shine through. We are excited about bringing this unique and limited expression to the market and sharing it with people who appreciate the virtues of ultra-premium rum.”
