Zaya Gran Reserva Rum (750Ml)

Description

Zaya Gran Reserva is a dark aged rum from Trinidad and Tobago. It is a blend of specialty rums matured in oak barrels. The bottle carries a 16-year age statement. When the brand relaunched it, the blend was described as aged up to 16 years. Infinium Spirits brings it to the United States.

Pour a glass and you see a deep, bronzed amber color. The nose brings baked fruit and spiced vanilla, with hints of pear and baked apple. It smells rich and warm, like a fruit tart fresh from the oven.

On the palate the rum is smooth and full. Caramel and vanilla come first, then baking spice, toasted oak and a touch of cocoa. The finish is long and deep, with a gentle hint of smoke at the end.

The texture feels silky and round. That makes it easy to sip, even if you are new to aged rum. The brand suggests sipping it slowly over ice.

It also brings depth to mixed drinks. Try it in a Rum Old Fashioned, a Rum Manhattan or a Black Daiquiri. In winter, it warms up a mug of hot spiced cider nicely. For food, set it next to dark chocolate, bread pudding, crème brûlée, roasted pecans, aged Gouda or smoked pork.

If you enjoy rum with real depth, this bottle is a smart one to keep on your shelf. It works for a quiet nightcap and for sharing with friends.
