The Real McCoy Rum is based on the story of Bill McCoy, the pioneer rum runner of the Prohibition Era. In January 1920, McCoy was the first to fill a boat with alcohol in the Caribbean, sail it to New York City, and legally act as a floating liquor store three miles offshore in international waters. McCoy made a name for himself because he never adulterated the alcohol. While copycat rum runners would dilute their alcohol with things like turpentine, wood alcohol, and prune juice, McCoy never did; these sullied products were nicknamed “Booze,” “Hooch,” and “Rot Gut,” while McCoy’s quality spirits became known as “The Real McCoy.” Fast-forward to the 21st century, when Bailey Pryor, The Real McCoy founder and CEO, was producing a documentary film about Bill McCoy. He traveled to the Caribbean island of Barbados, where he met Richard Seale, the 4th generation Master Distiller at the family-owned Foursquare Distillery, and was inspired to make The Real McCoy Rum.
