Both very similar with the Zaya being a tad sweeter. I picked up the Diplomatico and I like it. However, when the Diplomatico is drunk from a glass, there is a slight sulfur background that wisps by for a split second. Yeah yeah I know, Maybe I'm just smelling my upper lip! but I don't notice a similar smell with a glass of Ron Z or Zaya. However, when I drink the Diplomatico straight from the bottle, the smelly overtones are completly bypassed yeilding to a very very nice rum. Definitely superior to the Ron Z and the Zaya. They just need to fix the strange sulfur weirdness. In the meantime I'll stick to drinking it straight from the bottle. No problem there, except for the embedded pour spout which is easily removed.
