Whilst being converted over the last year or so to drinking a good rum when smoking a cuban I have been fortunate enough to be invited to try many a fine rum. Whilst you can certainly spend a fortune on the tipple one particular rum has popped up that I thought I would let you guys know of.

Now this is not hugely expensive nor cheap. It is a little difficult to track down but I can point you to two or three outlets in London that carry it and I think you can source it online but I have not checked. It is a great rum in my opinion. I understand it used to be related to Ron Zacapa rum but for legal/geographical reasons it was or did split off to become its own entity. I have to admit to being a little underwhelmed by most of the RZ offerings excepts the very high end ones and I slightly object to the price they expect for said products. The Zaya rum I am pointing you at is easily an equal to the RZ but has its own character that I have found a real soft spot for.

Just a head up guys.

Agree completeley T! I tried a little bit of this once before - it's a wonderful rum.

Available from The Whisky Exchange - though I'm not sure how their price (£54.95) stacks up against other shops. Nice though it was, I'd rather spend £50 on a nice Scotch - but that's just me.

Thanks for the heads up on this one. I am just starting to explore good Rum. This one is on my list for my next trip to the store.
