Re: Zaya Rum
I agree. Guatemala makes some of the world's finest rums.
Zaya in my opinion, goes well with a PSD4. It's one of my favorite pairings, not because the flavors compliment each other, but because they contrast each other. Experiment with any other medium body cigar, you will be surprise that it lends itself well to a range of flavor profiles. Have fun finding your own favorite:tu |
Re: Zaya Rum
I finally found some current production Zaya at my old source about a week ago. At first I was very disappointed...the vanilla flavor is MUCH stronger than either Zacapa 23 or what I remember of the old Zaya. As I've had it over time, I'm not so disappointed anymore. I wouldn't pair it up with a cigar at this point--I find it tends to overpower the flavor--but on its own I think it's great. I would almost call it a dessert rum.

Re: Zaya Rum
For a spiced rum with intense vanilla notes, try Sailor Jerry. I found that to be a pleasant cigar pairing if you enjoy that flavor.

Re: Zaya Rum
My liquor store still has a good number of the Guatemalan stuff. I've been enjoying it quite a bit. Keep thinking the next bottle will be my last, but then they keep putting more out on the shelf. :dr

Re: Zaya Rum
I'm curious what the taste difference is between the two....
I've got a bottle of Trinidad from KidRock, but haven't tried the other. |
Re: Zaya Rum
DMK, see above posts, various opinions have been given.

From my recollection the taste difference is VERY pronounced. Lots more vanilla. That said...in its own right, I like it. :2 |

Re: Zaya Rum
I'm confused.
I have a bottle of Zaya Gran Reserva 12 year old rum. The label says its an aged blended rum blended from pure sugar cane and imported from Trinidad. It does have a strong vanilla flavor but not as overpowering to my taste as some find it. No where on the label does it say "spiced" and it doesn't taste like any of the other spiced rums I've tried. Other than that, I have smoked a couple of different cigars with it and find that it does overpower the medium body cigars I like. |

I don't find the vanilla overpowering either. In fact, the strong vanilla notes are part of what makes me enjoy it so much. But to each his own. And I haven't found a cigar that doesn't pair nicely with it. |
Re: Zaya Rum
Funny thing just happened. I went to my B&M (which is also a wine/liquor shop) to pick up some sticks. These two ladies in front of my bought the last six bottles of Zaya in the place. They told the manager that Zaya was the best rum they had ever found for making Pina Coladas. The manager just smiled and after they were gone looked at me and said, "That is a waste of some very good sipping rum. I never mix it with anything but a little ice."
