ZAYA RUM

Country of Origin: Trinidad and Tobago (distilled at Trinidad Distillers Ltd.).
Alcohol Volume (ABV): 40% (80 Proof) for the standard Gran Reserva.
Sugar Content: Approximately 20 g/L.
Food Pairings:
Because of its rich notes of caramel, baking spices, and banana, Zaya pairs exceptionally well with decadent desserts and savory, aged items:
Desserts: Crème brûlée (mirrors vanilla notes), banana foster, or dark chocolate truffles.
Fruit: Grilled pineapple dusted with cinnamon.
Savory: Aged Gouda or hard cheeses and roasted nuts.
Mixing & Cocktails:
Zaya is a versatile mixer that adds complexity to both tropical and classic drinks:
Classic "Rum & Coke": Its vanilla notes make it a popular choice for a high-end version of this simple mix.
Dark & Stormy Style: Pairs well with ginger beer and a squeeze of lime (often called an Eye of the Storm).
Tiki Favorites: Works well as a "floater" on top of a Mai Tai or as the base for a Zombie.
Spirit-Forward: Excellent in a Rum Old Fashioned using brown sugar syrup and chocolate bitters to complement its natural sweetness.
