nice rums?

Roger, from what I understand, Zaya changed their blend a few years back, and possibly switched the country in which it's produced. Definitely inferior to the old blend, too much artifical vanilla flavor now. Disappointing, I prefer Zacapa over it now.

Yeah, Tom, they changed it from Guatemala to Trinidad before I even tried it the first time. I liked the Trinidad version, and when I got a taste of the older blend I thought it tasted like Zacapa Solera which I also like a lot. This new change is something else. I'm going to use the rest of the bottle for mixing or cooking and never buy it again. It is not sippable.
