This is a pretty good run for sipping or mixing. You can definitely taste caramel and it is very smooth. The price is a little high for this rum; there are other rums cheaper and better. I really like Zaya rum and I recommend it..

I can't get past the cleaner fluid aroma. I wanted to like it, but had to dump half the bottle down the drain.
The bottle itself is quite sturdy. I might clean it, replace the cork, and use it for something else.

Super sweet. Tried straight and mixed. Got it at good price.

A little bit sweet... just I like. For me, a nice one.

Vanilla on the nose and the first taste with more sweetness to follow. Sometimes I got a bit of toffee. A slow burn at the end.

Looking for my ole standby, but they were out. Looking around saw the Zaya Grand Reserva 16 and thought I would try it. First taste I liked it, but just a small sip. I drink Rum, Irish Whiskey, Bourbon or Scotch straight up or at the most a couple of ice cubes in it.
I went back for a second taste, poured a little into a glass took time sniffed and appreciated the color. This rum definitely has a sweet smell. Tasting it IS sweet, more so than I am use to or like. Almost like they added raw molasses to it at the end.
Not disgusting but too sweet for me. Will I drink it? Absolutely but I will not buy it again.

Lots of oaky vanilla bean. Sweet caramel & brown sugar, and a little cola. Seams almost spiced. I can see why some don’t like this, but for $26 it’s a good flavorful rum. Plus I’m a sucker for vanilla.

Značku Zaya jsem do ochutnání neznal a to byla chyba. Jde o skvělý rum tmavší barvy se sladší čokoládovou chutí.

Pretty good run for the price point. Tastes sweet to me, pretty smooth and not much of a burn going down.

On the nose, Zaya 16 Year Grand Reserve Rum has a sweet and fruity aroma with notes of vanilla, caramel, and toffee. There are also hints of toasted oak, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
On the palate, this rum has a full-bodied, velvety texture with a rich and complex flavor profile. There are flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, and toasted oak, with hints of spice and sweetness. The finish is long then transitions to more of a bitter burn.

I bought it to try as a sipping rum but find that I prefer it in a cocktail (Pineapple Juice at 3/1 ratio is a nice after dinner mix).

This is one of the worst rums I've had that was $30+ a bottle. Overly sweet. Artificial caramel taste. No redeeming value. Sad because I've had really good Zaya rum, but this is definitely not one.
