Zaya Gran Reserva 12

Nose smells of milk chocolate, chocolate milk, Yoohoo, Nesquik--it's intensely chocolatey. Maple syrup and vanilla are also present, lending it a truly enticing depth and richness. I can only imagine how this would taste reduced. The palate adds woodspice, molasses, mocha, and faint tobacco leaf with a dense, oily texture. The palate is syrupy sweet and as decadent as any dessert. The finish is medium, remaining sweet, but adding a bit more citrus and clove before fading back to chocolate.

This rum is nice for those with a sweet tooth. Interesting sweet chocolate aroma. Strong caramel and decent chocolate flavor, hints of molasses with touches of vanilla and lime. I personally suggest this as a rum for women. Very rich (though sweet) for men and a lovely caramel taste for women. It's the birthday cake of rums.

Nose: Very sugary vanilla cream Palate: Sweet, with hints of baking spices and banana. Finish: Lingering sweetness with syrupy banana and a subtle touch of baking spice. Overall: I'm just moving from whisky to rum and this has fantastic flavor! The sweetness makes it an ideal after-dinner drink!

Misleading label, disappointing product. Nothing about this "rum" is accurate, and it contains so much added sugar it shouldn't even be classified as such. Stay away completely. Furthermore, the "12 year" designation has been inaccurate for years and should be removed.

A robust, aged Rum from Trinidad & Tobago. It begins aromatically with sugarcane, wood, herbs, and spices. Its full-bodied character develops notes of brown sugar and oak, leading to a well-rounded, medium-length finish. December 2015 / June 2017

Prominent vanilla on the nose, with hints of maple syrup and gentle spices. It’s delightful on the palate, smooth and creamy, with sweet vanilla. It’s almost borderline too sweet but doesn't cross the line. The finish is brief and sweet, with a touch of spice.
