Brescome Barton hosted a Caribbean Rum Dinner at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar in West Hartford featuring The Real McCoy Rum on July 12. Teams from Brescome Barton and The Real McCoy Rum were on-site to educate guests on The Real McCoy Rum line during the five-course dinner prepared by Chef Headley Wilson paired with infused tastes of The Real McCoy Rum and cocktails by Stephanie Cohen, Brand Ambassador, The Real McCoy Rum. 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 Bailey 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.
