Smells like caramelized pineapple and brown sugar.

One of the few "flavored rum" that is done the right way and taste delicious. Good for sipping as well as making a Painkiller Cocktail or Pineapple Daiquiri

This flavoured rum is delicious, its buttery, sweet and savoury. Complexity (of rum) is lost with sugar and flavourings sure, but this isn't rum anymore. Its more like a [strong] liqueur I guess. The flavours taste quite natural, will be great in a Royal Bermuda Yacht Club I reckon. I'll let you know.

The pineapple aroma and taste is really well integrated here. It still retains the rum taste even though it is sweet and very fruity. It's not great for long-term sipping, but it tastes good in a cocktail.

Not a big fan of flavoured rums as they have always been too fake tasting and bad rum. Because of that I have made my own vanilla rum and coconut rum using a good Barbados white but have always stayed away from pineapple due to its propensity of the pineapple also starting to ferment. This is the best pineapple rum I can find. It is made with a dark Barbados rum which does not have a lot of the adulteration that other rums have.
If you are looking for a sweet concoction this is not your rum. If you want rum with a hint of pineapple this is for you.

I've read a lot about this rum. I've seen if quite often in many places. It looked like it's a kind of must-have - and damn it is!
While the fruity aroma and taste (really close to the very natural one) made be a little quirky for sipping, it's just great for so many cocktails. A classic daquiri or cuba libre is so much different with it!
So yes, it's a must-have for mixing and parties. As good as they say.

I love this in a rum and Coke! I sat and drank this all day last weekend and LOVED it! Nice and smooth with hints of fruit and a touch of spice.

I discovered this rum recently and I didn't know what to think about it.
It is really good on its own or in a cocktail. the pineapple is infused, so the taste is light and subtle. it has nothing to do with flavored rums. I recommend.
This is a beguiling rum; the taste is so interesting but itβs not sweet or chemically. Lovely dry notes

Not a pure rum since it is a pineapple 'marinated' rum, but not harsh, not too sweet, fruity. Perfect balance.

Perhaps not one for all rum purists, but this is a far cry from a spiced rum, so I would recommend trying it with an open mind.
When I first uncorked the bottle, it was like sniffing a ripe pineapple that had been soaked in smooth and fruity rum. The taste was then no surprise, with strong notes of pineapple, which doesn't overpower the rummy flavour. The combination of infusing the rum with pineapple bark and then adding distilled pineapple macerate gives a fruity flavour, whilst remaining far less sweet than you might expect ("off-dry" is probably the best descriptor), with a hint of burnt molasses and a smokey finish. I haven't tried the Plantation Original Dark that is used as the base for this, but can deduce that it must have a fairly prominent banana flavour, as this cuts through behind the pineapple. As with most rums, adding a tiny splash of water opens up the flavour a bit.
As has already been said by others, it would be very easy to sip your way through half a bottle of this neat without realising.
I haven't tried mixing it yet, but I'm going to have some with a splash of hot water and some sugar before bed tonight :)
