Zaya Gran Reserva 12-Year

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.

My wife was given a bottle of Zaya Gran Reserva as a gift a few years ago. At the time we only drank Bacardi as a mixer. I had a feeling this rum was above just mixing with something. I put a couple ice cubes in a glass and that’s where I started to enjoy rum all by itself.

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.

Tastes like a coke a cola.Too sweet and cloying. Will not buy again.

Tasty pour. Pretty smooth. Really Worth trying if you have the chance.
