Zaya Gran Reserva 12-Year

12 year stated on label but easily smoother than some 18 year aged rums out there. I have seen it priced as low as $20 which is a steal at that price. I bought the set with 2 glasses for $22. Zaya is sweet and smooth..

God og spændende med knap så megen sødme, men alt for megen vanille for min smag

Smagen er lidt nød og karamel. En god rom til en kop friskmalet kaffe. Skal købes igen.

Tastes a bit too much like Capt. Morgan's for my liking. A bit too spicy and sweet but the taste improves as the ice melts.

My goto sipping rum! Easy on the burn, wonderfull long finish. Yes it hits the nose with venilla but the sweet caramel taste makes this what I find perfect after dinner drink.

This is a very nice rum. It is smooth,versatile and has a nice finish. It can be enjoyed neat or with in sweetened cola.

I discovered this rum and it changed my view of rum. Previously only thought of rum as a mixer. This is my got to sipping rum and at a great price. Very and a nice finish.

This is the rum that opened my mind to rum beyond a crap rum and coke. This rum is perfect on an ice cube. Truly one of the best liquors available of any kind. Some spice and a touch of sweet.

This is an excellent rum. It maybe the smoothest rum readily available. This is a great sipping rum. It's easy to drink a lot without realizing how much you've had. However, the vanilla overwelhms the taste. This isn't necessarily a good or bad thing depending on how you feel about vanallia. It is one of my favorite flavors but every thing else gets lost. If it wasn't so smooth I'd rate it lower. It's also a good value at about $30 a bottle for such a smooth rum. If you have friends who think they don't like rum, this is a good one to get them started with.

sweet vanilla with hints of raisin and spices. I like sweet rums and this one fits the bill.

Overall, this is an excellent rum. It's tastes great, looks good , finishes, excellent. The only downside is that it's generally pricey, but if price isn't a factor then, this is the best, or at least right up there.

Smooth, sweet, warm. If you mix with this rum, you're nuts.

Très bon après un bon repas entre collègues.avec quelques glaçons.

Great after dinner sipping rum. To sweet for for everyday rum.

Ce rhum est une merveille à mon goût. Il faut aimer la vanille par contre pour apprécier sa douceur. A tester de toute urgence pour les fans de rhum arrangé à la vanille.

Agree that it's smooth and good, but it has a strong vanilla flavor that reminds me of spiced rums. Prefer neat with just a little water added, but overpriced for my taste.

So smooth. And the vanilla accents this so well. Its like a vanilla finish to a smooth rum.

This is an extremely dark rum in the bottle. As soon as I popped the cork, the subtle hint of vanilla escaped the bottle neck. Very smooth, sweet and delicious with a nice finish. Perhaps a bit too sweet.

i really like Zaya. Silky smooth with great sweet notes of vanilla - maybe even too much (the reason for no 10). Short finish, with a little spice. Probably the best rum for beginners, but maybe slightly lacking complexity for pros

Zaya had a strong vanilla flavor. Sipped it straight. Smooth but I thought it had a little bit of a medicine aftertaste to me though.

Beautiful caramel and vanilla notes. Smooth on the palate. Wonderful neat!

A fine rum that is enjoyed by many. A taste of bourbon or whisky

Beautiful caramel color
Sweet vanilla, chocolate and spices on the nose.
On the tong it is sweet with brown sugar vanilla and spices. Dried fruit and chocolate hints as well.
Finish is smooooth. Beautiful rum if your in the mood for something sweet.

I just can't get enough of this Rum! Smooth, flavorful, great price point, easy to find, perfect with a Cuban! What more can you hope for in a sipping Rum!?

A 10 all the way, for me.
