Reports vary, but some say the term "The Real McCoy" became part of our lexicon due to a fellow named Captain William McCoy.

Tasting Notes

"The nose is reminiscent of winter holiday cookies filled with ginger, lemon, and cinnamon aromas. The whisky hits your tongue slightly sweet and while flavors of pear and citrus come about, the fruit factor is minimal. Peat smoke is present, but muted with the focus staying with the barrel spices and that classic Cutty Sark oily character."
