A fantastic treat from the Planteray range originally created by the company's cellar master Alexandre Gabriel and drinks historian David Wondrich for Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans in 2015. To make it, they infuse the rinds of Queen Victoria pineapples in their white rum for a week then distil it, and infuse the fruit of the pineapples in dark rum for three months. These are married together and left to age in casks for three months. Pineapple deliciousness galore!
Also, if you're wondering about the name, it comes from the character Reverend Stiggins in Pickwick Papers, whose favourite drink was 'pineapple rum'.
We reckon Plantation Pineapple Stiggins' Fancy is one of our Best Rums under £40!
Honeydew melon, cola cubes and a hint of Jamaican ginger cake. Pineapple notes are authentic, but not overblown.
Spiced molasses tart and crumbly shortbread. Pineapple lends juicy and slightly earthy elements. Cassia spiciness develops.
Vanilla, lemon, mango and spearmint.
Hesitantly bought this, so glad that I did. Wonderful taste and like many people I need a new bottle as once opened it goes quick!
Amazing bottle of rum. My only regret is I drank it so quickly and have to buy another bottle but it’s well worth it.
This Rum is so smooth waning the bottle doesn’t last too long once opened I’ve learnt to keep a bottle in reserve
Where to start. Just forget this is a pineapple rum, it’s just simply a great rum! Don’t buy if you’re wanting/expecting a sweet strong pineapple flavour. It’s subtle, and it’s brilliant. Lots of pineapple on the nose, and a little lingering aftertaste. Great price for such a complex rum. Great one to drink neat
My favourite rum to daiquiri
