Anything with an age statement has to display the youngest age by default. See Solera vats.

I know Solera but what is the go with their age statements? One of my favourite rums is 23yo solera RZ but presumably there's like homeopathic amounts of the older stuff left?

it seems a lot of rum has numbers but not necessarily relating to years.
Zaya have a 12 sticker, but no mention of years.
its actual 12 rums blended.
