I fell for Sea Wynde when I saw the lable. Years later when I bought a cruising sailboat my wife insisted on naming it SeaWynde.
I like Sea Wynde the same way I like my single malt scotches, straight up with a splash of water (a very small splash).
It was never meant for the weak at heart or stomach. I am sad to hear that it’s gone by the way side. It never sold very fast so there might be some left out tere on dusty shelves. The hunt is on.

To each his own. I do not care for Zaya. If I have a sweet tooth I will go for Zacapa, but Zaya has to much of an after dinner aspect.
When I want to really enjoy a winter’s storm coming off the sea I go for the Sea Wynde. I call it the “whiskey of the rums” because it lacks the insipid sweetness of so many of the other rums.
It depends on your mood, your taste buds and what kind of experience you are looking for. Sea Wynde rates very high in my book.

Aye Aye! Sea Wynde not at all be fer th’ thin stomach nor lily livered, nay fer Sea Wynde be a man’s drink o’ rums it be!

Sadly however, as of last October th’ fine makers have chosen t’ stop bottl’n this fine rum
While thar still be a few bottle t’ be found here ‘n there, it has now gone t’ Davey Jones it has…(save fer th’ 5 bottle I have buried away fer th’ most special o’ occasions) – I even know o’ one place that has but 3 bottle left; they be sell’n it fer $70 EACH!! (I paid but a mere $33 coin each…pays t’ have contacts

Ye all can keep yer sweet ‘n syrupy swallow o’ Pyrate ‘n Zaya fer once me last bottle o’ Sea Wynde goes th’ way o’ tall ship then it will not but Pusser’s ‘n Appleton fer me grog!

I really didn’t want to post this, but the comparison to Zaya (a rum well liked by both the Bilgemeister and Sue Sea and I) is simply unfair.

Zaya Trinidad is really a seriously flavored rum – thick sweet and hot and a super experience. Sea Wynde is not flavored at all and furthermore is a Navy/Jamaican style rum.

Sea Wynde is not polite, not for pussies. It is for real men and women of the sea. It exhibits the pleasing brutality, dunder and the deep fruity, spicy, peppery and chestwarming heat that Navy rums are known for.

This actually raises an important issue in the world of rum where rums are compared by color and age. A few are honest and admit alteration with flavorings; most don’t. Actually rums should be compared by style, eg. Barbadian, Jamaican, Cuban, Cane Juice and Demeraran.

Navy and Flavored are additional subsets. Believe me, Zaya and Sea Wynde should not even be in the same room, much less review…

Well, I guess after only 2 nights/tastes of the stuff, I shouldn’t pronounce judgement, but I’ve got to say at this point it rates a big Yawn…slapped down the plastic at BevMo expecting great things, but no, not so much.

For my $, Zaya has yet to be beat.
