Question: What brand of rum was made famous in a Florida town during Prohibition?
Answer: The Real McCoy Rum
Bill McCoy refused to dilute his rum with water and iodine like other bootleggers, inspiring the world-famous name—The Real McCoy. McCoy moved to the sleepy hamlet of Holly Hill in 1900 and set up a ship-building business with his brother, Ben. In the 1920s, during Prohibition, they used their ships to smuggle liquor.
