Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

I've just tasted it! This ron is quite sweet and I like thé pineapple! Really particular!

Smooth rum. My favorite is the Plantation XO. The pineapple variant isn't as rich as the XO and I don't really taste the pineapple very much. Still a good rum though.

I did this completely backwards. I tried the Stiggin's Smoky formula first and was extremely disappointed (I really have to stop listening to "Limited" release marketing labels). Thankfully, I was able to try this at a local tasting. These two bottles couldn't be farther apart. I don't need to ramble too much, since there are already so many reviews, so just going to say wow and leave it at that.

Very smooth mouth and throat feel. Not too sweet compared to most other flavored rums. Nice pineapple flavor without tasting artificial. Also has subtle flavors of coconut.

Subtly infused, revives classics without losing rum essence.

Skal prøves i D&S

More ripe pineapple on the nose than on the palette. Not a great sipper, but makes a killer daiquiri. Plantation adds 20 g/L of sugar, so nicely sweetened.

Never disappoints, sweet, to the point, easy to understand

Nose is old colony pineapple soda smells a bit artificial even though I’ve met the owner and they said they crunch tons of real pineapple all the time. Taste is over burn and just too candyish not overly sweet but just candy tasting instead of more natural fruit.

For the value I find this rum an 7.5 of 10. Rounded to 8.

This is a delightful variation of the Plantation Original Dark which I like very much for mixed drinks and maybe on the rocks depending on my mood.

I enjoy the subtle infused pineapple taste compared to flavored rums which I find much too sweet.

My favorite drink at the moment is a pineapple daiquiri using these ingredients:

2oz - Stiggins Fancy Pineapple
1/2oz - smugglers cove Demerara syrup
1 oz - fresh lime juice

Shake on ice and strain into a chillled coupe.

Nice hint of pineapple :)

Enjoy!
