Not all whiskeys are made for quiet nights and slow sips. Some are built to make a statement, and Real McCoy is here to do just that. Created by VOK Beverages, this flavoured whiskey kicks tradition to the curb, offering bold, smooth flavours that are as easy to sip as they are to mix. Whether it’s a laid-back evening or a lively party, Real McCoy fits whatever vibe you’re chasing.
Whiskey without the rulebook
Real McCoy takes a fresh approach to what a whiskey liqueur can be, offering a modern twist on a classic spirit. It’s not bound by rigid cocktail lists or old-school notions. Instead, it’s built for real moments and real people. Want to enjoy it over ice? Go for it. Prefer a chilled shot or a creative cocktail? That works too. As Johann Einarson, Brand Manager at VOK Beverages, puts it, “Real McCoy is about great flavour without the rules. You drink it how you want.”
Packed with bold flavours and versatility, this whiskey liqueur isn’t just about sipping; it’s designed for mixing, sharing, and enjoying your way.
Two standout flavours stealing the spotlight
Real McCoy launches with two irresistible expressions, each with a flavour profile that guarantees to excite your palate:
Real McCoy Salted Caramel
Smooth, rich, and a little indulgent, Salted Caramel delivers creamy vanilla, warm caramel, and a hint of sea salt, all layered with subtle notes of oak and butterscotch. Think of your grandma’s candy dish… but a whole lot more fun.
Real McCoy Buttered Popcorn
Looking for something playful and nostalgic? Buttered Popcorn combines the buttery goodness of freshly popped kernels with toasted oak, vanilla, and caramel. The result? A silky finish with a lingering whiskey sweetness that’s dangerously easy to pour.
Both expressions promise versatility, offering the perfect base for your favourite cocktail, a round of chilled shots, or a simple serve over ice.
Made for the night, not the other way around
Designed with today’s drinker in mind, Real McCoy puts an emphasis on flavour, flexibility, and fun. These aren’t whiskeys that lock you into tradition. Instead, they embrace your lifestyle, elevating moments that matter—from pre-drinks that take an unexpected turn to nights where the only excuse you need is having a good time.
Einarson explains, “We set out to redefine what a whiskey liqueur could be. Real McCoy focuses on bold but balanced flavours, made to be layered, versatile, and genuinely enjoyable.”
