I can't find Zaya anywhere!

Nice Darrell! Seems like you guys are going after this stuff how I go after George T Stagg, William Larue Weller and the rare Four Roses bottles.

Funny you mention such things. We had a pretty decent earthquake Friday night and my first instinct was to run & check to make sure none of my Antique Collection bottles had taken a dive off the racks, as well as other bottles like the thread's title.

Yesterday was a good day. Set out with the intention of finding a bottle or maybe two to tuck away, and about 45 minutes later came home with this:

Thanks to a member on here, I found a place with a good stock of Zaya so I picked up 3 bottles. They're on the way right now.

So much for this. Stupid place won't ship out of CA, only within the state. Grrrr.

I would caution, over the last couple of weeks CA's shelves have become heavily fortified with the newer Trinidad release. Including those 'grocery' stores so many have been getting lucky at. At least a couple of which that I visited had shelves filled with the newer.

If your potential purchase was from one of the two major CA retailers discussed here often, I'm pretty sure it's not the old Zaya they are currently stocking & selling.

Have you had a chance to try the newer Zaya? It's still not on the shelves in MD as far as I can tell. As much as everyone here is horny for 'old' Zaya, I'd love to see an unbiased comparison of the two.

I have tried it. I don't know about the "unbiased" parth tough. I can drink it (them) fine, but I'm not a huge fan of Angostura. So much for truly unbiased remarks / comparisons.

From what little I've observed, they did however do a pretty good job keeping the hue similar between the old / new bottles.

After speaking with them and having one guy go grab a bottle while on the phone with me, it was the Trinidad bottling, NOT the Guatemalan version. I'm just glad I passed and wasn't sitting on a bunch of Trinidad.
