This is actually a very good rum with interesting body. But it didnt really get me so for me, something is missing there.

Voici un rhum qui a le mérite d'être unique en son genre, mais dont l'équilibre est discutable. Typique des rhums d'amérique centrale, sucré, gourmand, très accessible, certains (dont moi) lui reprocheront une certaine simplicité, mais sa douceur est parfaitement dosée. Nez discret, vanillé, en bouche c'est sirupeux, proche d'un diplomatico en terme de douceur, mais avec des aromes plus patissiers, caramel, et une vanille très présente. Peut-être trop présente justement, elle empêche d'autres arômes de se révéler sur la longueur, et au fil des verres le côté sucre vanillé alsa finit par écoeurer. La finale est relativement courte, en adéquation avec la discrétion de l'alcool. C'est un rhum gourmand qui réussit l'exploit de donner envie d'y revenir dès la première gorgée, là où d'autres écoeurent par leur côté sucré trop prononcé; le bémol, c'est qu'il est tellement vanillé qu'il en est lisse, il manque de relief, le goût est identique du début à la fin de la dégustation, et le breuvage ennuie en fin de compte. A réserver plutôt aux personnes découvrant l'univers des rhums de type espagnol; les consommateurs expérimentés n'y trouveront pas leur compte.

Nice, smooth vanilla rum. Probably the sweetest rum I've tried, but very enjoyable. Nice little burn, quite a long aftertaste. A bit simple though, especially compared to some higher end rums.
Edit: I wrote the above review when this was among my first 12 rums or so and my palate was more adjusted to sweet/sugared rums, when I drink it now I find it much too sweet.
For beginners its probably worth to get a bottle, but more seasoned rum drinkers can better get something else.

Very nice rum on the rocks. Very complex flavors with a vanilla finish. Recently had a traditional Mai Tai made with Zaya and it added a whole new dimension to my favorite traditional Tiki. A must try.

It's a pretty good run. Heavy on the vanilla, almost like desert.

I was a disappointed with this tasting after reading a number of reviews. The vanilla caramel aroma was good but the flavor just wasn't right. Could be me being influenced by another really good rum I just sampled.
