MOTAC Presentation: "The Real McCoy": A Rum-Running
Jacob K. Javits Convention Center
11th Avenue & West 38th Street, New York, NY
Presented by Jonathan Pogash:
William S. McCoy, an "honest lawbreaker," was one of the most well-known and infamous rum-runners in the United States during prohibition. Beginning with whiskies, and then moving on to sugar cane spirits, Captain McCoy traveled the eastern seaboard giving the kind folk exactly what they wanted: pure, untainted, uncut, clean spirit. After a brief run-down of rum's history and how we got to prohibition, we’ll explore Mr. McCoy's life and times while sipping some classic rum cocktails using Depaz and Appleton rums.
