Zaya? Light?
Man... am having a bit of a problem with that! How F&W could list that one as a light PR style rum is kinda hard to figure out. But as the Romans would say... (ok who wants to hear what the Romans would say?)

If you're referring to Don Q Gran Añejo, how would you describe it?

No Ed, unless I am bonkers, it sure looked to me like they had Zaya listed as a light PR style... (never have had the DonQ GR...)

Hi Ed... here's the a screen shot of what I am looking at when I click on that F&W link...looks to me like they have Zaya in the light PR style, and if I were the one to be categorizing that I would at least put it in the "medium" category. I for one, find Zaya to be one of the most in your face rums, sweet, heady, full bodied and with a very very pronounced vanilla component (which, personally, I don't particularly favor.) To each his own of course. But I find it difficult to do much with Zaya because of the heavy vanilla flavor. I like it on vanilla ice cream! And it's not bad as a Dark and Stormy, (sorry Goslings.. didn't mean to intrude) Ok with tonic. Ok to sip a bit of... but there are a lot of other rums that I, personally, would favor ahead of it. Never tried it with Coke... but then again, haven't done that with anything in about 20 years. Maybe I should sometime... So here's the screen shot.. and, btw... am looking forward to running into my first bottle of DQ older offerings because I very much like their standard stuff.
