Zaya New or Old

Anybody know how the flavor compares? If I missed it on an earlier post I apologize.

Haven't had it myself, but the folks over at ministryofrum.com say it has a stronger vanilla flavor, and maybe a touch sweeter. They compare it to Angostura 1919 (Angostura is the new distiller that produces Zaya), and some admit that they may not notice the difference if they weren't looking for it.
 
I paid ~40-45 for my bottles, I dont regret it. If I could find it cheaper thats great but I cant, so I'll pay what I have to for the best rum to ever hit my lips.

When the new stuff comes in I'll buy that too :)

My local used to have the old bottles at $40 each but they have sold out. I drove to a store about 10 miles North that had 1 bottle left and bought it before it was all gone from around this area.

This stuff is so good I don't have a problem spending $40 + tax...

I am sure that there are many gorillas here that would be happy to share in the cost of that bounty. Snatch them up for sure.:tu

I will go buy them out if there is interest here.

PM me if you guys are interested.. (Shipping costs may make this less of a deal, I would assume)

I've heard that the Vanilla is quite noticeable on the new one which I think should be out soon.
 
I have been looking for a while for this and finally found one bottle of the old in a local store. Paid about 38 with taxes, but not too bad. Very nice, tried it last night. I'll be very interested in picking up a bottle of the new blend when it's out to compare!

Be careful in your interpretation (and public posting). It is my understanding that it is illegal for any individual to ship liquor across any state line. In some cases (depending on local law / jurisdiction) it may be illegal to ship cross counties with-in a state.

If you referred to various merchant details on-line - that isn't an indication of anything other than the licensing fees they have paid in order to be authorized to ship to those said states. It requires legal authorization (applications + fees paid + authorization granted) per state.

Now if you're working for or connected to a store, that's one thing, but I believe the purchase off the shelf from one retail location and resale / shipping through use of another merchant's authorized destinations would come into question legally too.

Not to sound like a complete kill-joy there.


...And if you don't get takers let me know, I'm in the Bay Area and still looking for a bottle or two to squirrel.:)
 
From what i noticed there was no huge difference other than they raised the price I get popped for 42.99 in TN Damn Biblebelt!
