Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

This rum has interesting history, i recommend to read about it, cocktail historian David Wondrich was involved in developing and recovering this lost recipe from two hundred years ago so what could go wrong?
The rum is made by infusing Queen victoria pineapples in plantation original dark rum for 3 months and also macerating pineapple rind in rum to extract essential oils from the pineapple. Then the macerated mixture is distilled and then blended with the pineapple infused original dark.
The pineapple taste is natural and fresh and sweet and its in good balance to the rum, not too overpowering as in many other flavoured rums.
You can still taste the profile of the
dark rum. But i have to say the rum base, which is very standard trini mixing rum is nothing special or interesting on the flavour department, but it's all about prefererence because the rum is very inoffensive flavor wise, it lifts up the pineapple even more.
Is bit sweet, probably sugared but it actually compliments the flavor profile of this rum.
Great mixer, is bit lost in heavily flavoured drinks tho.
Imo makes the best cuba libre i have ever tasted.

Prírodne aromatizovaný rum tmavozlatej farby s vôňou po tropickom ovocí, najmä ananásov, ktoré boli po dobu 3 mesiacov macerované v Plantation Dark rume, následne ešte raz vypálený. Vo vôni cítiť prezreté ananásy, banány a aj nejaké citrusy. Veľmi pekná, sladkastá vôňa. V chuti je tiež cítiť ananás, banány, vanilku a náznak rumových praliniek. Je o triedu lepší ako Tiki Lovers Pineapple (45%), ktorý sa vyrába rovnakým spôsobom, ale je podstatne viac dosladený a tiež aj viac aromatizovaný. Plantation Pineapple je kvalitný ananásový rum, ktorý sa dá piť na ľade, alebo pridať do prémiového rumového drinku, napr. Dark 'n Stormy so zázvorovým Ale. Môžem len odporučiť.

urcite jedna z dalsich oblibenych variant plantation. s ovocnejsi chutí, ale stejne jemny jako ostatní platntaion.

I am not a fan of flavoured rum but the good rating on this intrigued me. Alcohol or start but a nice smell of pineapple comes through in 15mins. Nice taste of charred wood and burnt sugar like a good dark rum with pineapple. A bit of harsh burn but able to be sipped must try next in a mixed cocktail.

Musím říct, že jsem nechtěl moc ochutnávat. Špatná zkušenost s ananasovým rumem od jiné společnosti. Nechal jsem se přemluvit a ochutnal. Mám ho doma v baru :-) je fakt jiný a moc povedený. Žádné cukrbliky a kudrlinky nečekejte. Je to rum pro velké kluky s lehkým závanem ananasu. Je dobrý a chutný.

In my opinion the best flavoured rum! On the nose and taste clear, genuine hints of pineapple, however not as predominant and sweet as in most other flavoured rums. Great rum for sipping or in a tropical cocktail.

Le 8 est surement trop généreux mais je salue l'originalité, l’arôme d'ananas est bien moins présent et beaucoup plus naturel que ce que j'imaginais. Mais à coté de ça, le rhum manque de "punch", c'est doux ça se boit (trop) facilement mais ça s'oublie vite et ça ne remplace jamais l'originale. Un set pour mini-crêpes Tefal.

I think this one surprises most people. I enjoy this rum to much to have it any other way than as a sipper. (I don't want to hide its delicious pineapple flavor). If you are a fan of plantation dark rum and pineapple - this one takes the cake. The strong pineapple flavor is sweet - but not too sweet- with not hint of artificial flavors. The plantation original dark rum provides the perfect back bone with a subtly funky flavor that lingers nicely.
I dont think I will mix much with this one.

Pineapple nose is beauty but not to strong, taste is excellent with strong pineapple you can feel. Hard to product that kind of rum. 8 like mark is more than right

The pineapple in this is more on the nose and the aftertaste rather than on the tongue. It's there and very refreshing, giving the rum a slightly exotic, tangier than normal feel, but to all intents and purposes this is a traditional rum with a slight twist. I like it. It's fun and I imagine people who didn't drink much rum would enjoy both the quality of the actual rum - dark, molasses with a bit of caramel sweetness - enjoyable as well as finding the pineapple interesting. It's a reasonable price.
In addition, this maybe a bridge into traditional rum for those who think they like only spiced rum.
