So i'm about as newb as they come as far as rum's go. I enjoy a good rum and coke usually captain or some other base bar bottle occasionally.
However, Ive often thought I was missing out on the true nature of fine spirits and was not sure where to go.
I read some on here and looked around online as well and kept hearing about zaya blended rum, so I managed to find it locally earlier today, 34$ after tax for the 750ml.
Now keep in mind i'm not much of a drinker and don't do well with strong tasting spirits or shots for that matter. So I was skeptical and cautious to make the purchase even after showing up at the store and finding it.
Long story and tons of horrible grammar later...... I poured a bit over a single ice cube to take the edge i expected off a bit, and I was surprised to find it much smoother and subtler to my untrained pallet. It will take some time for me to fully appreciate it and catch all the subtle flavors that hide within but definetily one of the best rums I have had to date.
Either way thanks CP brothers for the info that led me here and cheers !
edit: Anyone have any favorite cigar pairs with this ?
