Zaya Gran Reserva 12-Year

I read reviews about this one and some people mentioned that if you get the bottle with the twist off bottle, it's not nearly as good as the original with the cork top. Unfortunately, the only one I could find was the twist off top. The nose is pretty good, but the taste on the other hand is not so great straight up, but pretty good in a mixed drink.

Slight vanilla taste with a great finish. Definitely a sipping rum

dark color, sweet vanilla nose, smooth, not burny aftertaste, one of my favorites so far.

Good for Zipping but a little sweet, after couple of Zips you can taste the Cane. Over all very good!

It is Good but still lacking something . just not my Fav and the nose on it seems artificial to me, not sure why

It is somwhere between Zacapa 23 and Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. Not burning, sweet taste, nice and long aftertaste.

Sweet. Casket scent. Pure vanilla. After having a bottle finished i must say. Not as good theough the bottle as i first rated. Ive found its just too too sweet. And feels fake and cheap. Just a little of it is all you need for i seemed to have very bad hang overs with this rum. Not a clue why. Its the only one ive felt bad after drinking. It taste good in moderation. Definitely not something i would drink through a whole night.

This rum is has a very nice balance between aroma and a smooth finish. It is one that I'm always proud to share with guests.

Great flavours. Great aromas. Easy smooth sipper. Recommended to anyone.

I have had more than a few bottles of this throughout the year, it goes well by itself or in a Dark and Stormy.
