Zaya Grand Reserva Rum

Zaya Gran Reserva is the flagship rum of the Zaya Rum Company, produced at Trinidad Distillers Limited in Trinidad, a nation with a long history of rum distillation. Distilled from molasses, it is a blend of 12 well-aged rums, selected and married by Zaya's master blender, and the tropical climate of the Caribbean helps bring depth to the rums as they mature in oak barrels.

The style is soft and rounded, with loads of vanilla and toffee. The nose is rich and complex, led by cinnamon and vanilla with candied banana and pineapple. The palate brings vanilla and candied banana, with brown caramel adding body, before a long finish of cocoa, cinnamon and a slight woodiness. It is ideal for slow sipping neat or over ice, and makes a smooth base for an Old Fashioned.
