Zaya Gran Reserva 12-Year

This one is easy to drink, and easy to like. Brown sugar all the way. Want to get your friends hooked on rum? Zaya. Great bottle too.

Price jumped in the past year or so as it really caught on in the northeast, but it's still worth it.

This rum is great! If you can find a bottle from Guatamala buy it. The newer ones are from Trinadad and just as tasty. Love it!

Dark color with a faint aroma of vanilla. It is definitely enjoyable as a sipping rum. First sips are warm and smooth with an enjoyable faint vanilla finish.

Zaya is a good rum and very easy to drink. Tends to be a little too sweet for my liking but has a smooth mouthfeel and very little burn. It is extremely easy to drink and very enjoyable.

Very tasty. Excellent value at this $30 price point. Fairly sweet with a rum-arisen like taste profile. Wish it had a bit more body and complexity but still something to sip on a regular basis.

Nice overall flavor and very smooth. Has that tobacco flavor I like.

Delicious, delicious rum. Would certainly buy again.

It's smooth but a bit too sweet. IMO not worth the relatively steep price.

Good rum to have when you need to mix something, but not the best sipping rum.

I’m primarily a mixer and this is my go to with carbonation. Doesn’t disappear in a mixed drink but also doesn’t take over. A must for any cabinet.
