Zaya Gran Reserva 12-Year

This is a no go for me! After reading some reviews I couldn't wait to open my bottle. When I did, I received a big, huge, enormous dissapointment. So huge I can't even review this anymore!!

pohodový rum s dominantní vanilkou v chuti a vůni
má to být alternativa k Zacapa 23, chutově snad, ale za mě má hodně krátký dojezd, proto o bod méně než Zacapa

Smooth but very very sweet and some aftertaste. There are better sippers available in the price range.

I can barely remember it as it was a small sample years ago but I recall it being on the level of Flor de Caña 12 year and a cut above Barbancourt. I haven't tried the 16 but my boss said he felt like that one was way too vanilla heavy. While I can't recall all the details of this one, I have always questioned why I never bought a bottle, so, it was good enough to make me realize that. Must have left an impression...

Ihned po otevření láhve jsem ucítil karamel a čokoládu. Je cítit i v chuti s ještě sladším marcipánem v pozadí, což po chviličce prehluší chuť čistého rumu, možná až s malinkým pocitem lihovosti. Za mne se jedná o zajímavý rum a mohu jej doporučit.

This is an easy one to recommend to someone trying run as a Stan alone sipper. Butter sweet with a little clove at the end.

I can't put my finger on it, besides tasting like recycled rum with bar mat liquid added, but I don't like it.

This rum is truly terrific. Great neat but preferred with a cube of ice. Mixes well with diet cola. My pallet is spiced rums and light rums but not Captian or Sailor, a truly unique flavor that is appreciated after a long hard day. Enjoy!

A friend bought this for me (and helped drink it too). I was very pleased with the sweet vanilla-ish aroma. Easy drinking and enjoyable. I would recommend this rum although it is a little pricey but worth it!!

Vůně: příjemně sladká, karamelová, vanilková.
Chuť: sladká, vanilková, karamelová, ořechová, dubová. Celkově jemná.
S Diplomaticem, Zacapou, takový mainstream.
