I loaned friends a table saw and a miter saw, and as thanks they gave me an excellant home grilled steak dinner and a bottle of Zaya. Hell’s bells, I would have traded them the saws for the Zaya! What a wonderful treat. Makes awaiting winter with a crackling fireplace and a full snifter much more appetizing!

Had a dram of this over the weekend Jim and it was lovely. Your review hits it on the head with the chocolate notes. It hits you hard with the vanilla which I like but there was something underneath which I couldn’t put a name on. You got it perfect.

Edge, Thanks for your comment. I agree the old/new debate is old. That’s why I do not want to get into it. Zaya is a great rum. Happy hoarding!

I’m a big fan of Zaya; it’s my favorite rum. The whole old Zaya/new Zaya debate is old already. Guatemalan Zaya is gone while the Trinidad Zaya is still an amazing rum. I’m more than pleased with it and will continue to hoard it as my private rum, or the rum I share only with special friends. I love it that much.
