For each batch of Zaya, a variety of different rare aged rums are carefully selected and blended by the Zaya master blender to achieve the delicate balance and unique profile of Zaya Gran Reserva. Some of these rare rums are up to 16 years old.
Zaya is made from the premium blackstrap molasses best suited for barrel aging, and distilled in a state of the art stainless steel five column still with copper coils/condensers. In order to match the Zaya benchmark for its proprietary blend, the Master Blender must select each barrel by hand to find the ideal aged rum.
