Planteray Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple Rum (Plantation Rum)

Planteray Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple Rum (Plantation Rum) is a tipple macerated and distilled with pineapples, a marriage of pineapple distillate and fruit infusion creates its incredibly unique fruity flavour.

Unlike a pineapple-flavoured rum that is saccharinely sweet, this spirit retains the heat and smoky profile typical of a dark rum but with a distinctive flavour of pineapples and notes of cloves, cinnamon and citrus peel.

To start, barks of Queen Victorian pineapple rinds are infused in Planteray/Plantation’s 3 Star White rum before being further distilled in Ferrand Copper Pot Stills. Separately, pineapples are infused in Planteray/Plantation’s Original Dark Rum for 12 weeks in cognac-soaked barrels before these two spirits are married and rested for 3 more months. The end result is a charming and refined rum with delicious undertones of flambeed pineapples and cloves.

While great sipped neat or on the rocks, Planteray Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple Rum (Plantation Rum) finds its calling in the mesmerizing world of cocktails. The sweet, slightly tart flavours of this spirit provides a bright contrast to the zesty lime of a daiquiri. If you like your cocktails simpler, prepare an Old Fashioned with this Stiggins’ for a delightful twist on your classic cocktail.

Best described as a pineapple-influenced rum rather than a pineapple flavoured rum, this award winning spirit is collaboration between Planteray/Plantation’s Alexandre Gabriel and cocktail historian David Wondrich, this spirit traces its roots to 18th century Caribbean rum distillers, where they would soak fresh pineapples in rum barrels to add sweetness to the spirit.

Fast forward to today, this spirit has become a favorite of bartenders across the world. Loved for its subtle, fruity flavor without the artificial sweeteners found in most flavoured rums, Plantation Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple Rum is a bartender favorite when it comes to preparing not just daiquiris and Tiki drinks, but any tropical, fruit-forward cocktails.

A great addition to any home bar, spruce up your next cocktail with this Caribbean Spirit from Plantation Distillery.
