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.

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.

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!

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 :)
