Forgive me for beating a dead horse from the crypt, but I was googling around for Zaya Rum and found this post on this forum and had to join and post on this topic...

My husband just bought me a bottle of Zaya Gran Reserva 12 yr old and I think it's the best drinking rum I've ever tasted. One swallow and your entire digestive tract screams "SMOOOOOOKE!" while your mouth goes "oooh...smooth". My father-in-law has worked with the Barcardi family and I've been priveldged to sample a wide range of their rums, including several family-only label rums....and this is the best sipping rum I've ever tasted. For the price, I'll gladly drink this as opposed to my favorite best sipping single malt scotch, Lagavulin, since this is 1/3 the price.

I agree with the review on boozereview.net: "If you ever see this stuff anywhere, buy two bottles. You'll drink the first one in a couple of nights because you'll be so amazed, but then you'll have a 2nd one you can save so you can be amazed again at a later time"

Damn right...I need to have a permanent back-up of this stuff...outstanding. =)
