Santa hooked me up with a bottle of this stuff. Best sipping rum I've had in a long time. The vanilla note and sweetness make this stuff go down way to easy.
Everything except my liver thanks you Santa!

Thank you... I had some at the BS in Vegas and could not remember the name(I spent a lot of time at the Jack Daniels Single Barrel booth), just that it started with a Z. It was very smooth and I loved it as well.
Next to Ron Z...Zaya is the shiznet. HC7 comes in third. Nice score!!!:smiley20:
OK, there are 2 rums that start with a Z? All I remember from Vegas is it was aged above the clouds. Not really sure what that means, but there was a drop dead gorgeous young lady standing in front of a poster that said "Aged above the clouds"
Ron Zacapa, is the other Z rum. I find Zaya to be a little sweeter then Zacapa. I guess it's a matter of taste. They are both from Guatemala. Best sipping rums you can find for sure.
Santa hooked me up with a bottle of HC7 this year. As my first bottle of good sipping rum, I love it oh so much. I shared some of it with a friend of mine, i got up to go to the bathroom and came back as he was pouring coke into it. Needless to say, he has lost his HC7 privileges. I did taste his perversion of such a fine rum though, and it certainly was delicious.
My girlfriend's mom gave me a bottle of Woodford Reserve distillers select bourbon. I'll let you know if I ever find a better one.
A couple of you guys might shoot me, but I'm drinking a Zaya & Egg Nog right now and its damn tasty.
:smiley4:
I had some Ron Zacapa yesterday for the first time. It was delicious.
I have just started getting into rum, and by know means have had anything top of the line, but i do enjoy Lamb's neat, and Bacardi Anejo in coke. I really like the Lamb's, my Mom got me some from Canada, but as far as i know you cannot get it in the states.
Hmmmmm, I'll be at a liquor store shortly, and it's been some time since I've had rum, I'll keep an eye out.
Lamb's? Is that from New Zealand?Quote:

Memories ... Lamb's Navy is what we used to drink in junior high, 'cause somebody's parents inevitably had a bottle that could be "borrowed" from. From a website:Really dark, dark, sweet, stuff.Quote:
Lamb's Navy Rum is a blend of 18 fine Caribbean rums from Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and aged for up to four years in oak casks
Based on this recommendation, I picked up a bottle for a Super Bowl party -- only 4 of us were drinking it, but it went down so smoothly we found ourselves out by half time (probably good for them as they drove). Nice recommendation.

There's a 3rd "Z" on the scene these days, "Zafra" - which is similarly classed to the other 2 "Zs". In that same league, I'd put Dimplomatico Reserva Exclusiva and Centenario XX.
