Bailey Pryor, Founder and CEO, The Real McCoy Rum, was in attendance for the event at the speakeasy-style cocktail bar, with Stephanie Cohen, Brand Ambassador, and Zach DeBottis, Connecticut Account Manager. Trade guests enjoyed specialty cocktails featuring The Real McCoy Rum created by Bar Team Atilio Lopez and Agustin Simon. The award-winning suite of The Real McCoy Rum, distributed in Connecticut by Brescome Barton, is small-batch and artisan-crafted 100% unadulterated Barbados rum. Its 3, 5 and 12 Year Aged premium rums are named after Bill McCoy, the pioneer rumrunner of the Prohibition era. Stonington resident Pryor, a six-time Emmy award-winning documentary producer, was inspired to start The Real McCoy Rum while producing a film about McCoy for PBS.
