Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Na, ez is a "Hogyan rontsunk el egy kitűnő rumot?" iskolapéldája... Érdekes, de én sem illatában, sem ízében abszolút semmi ananászt nem tudtam felfedezni, mégis van ott valami, aminek nem kéne ottlennie. Sajnos nekem nem jön be.

Im not gonna lie, i dont like Plantation. This company is just immoral against consumers ,nevertheless I thought that I'm gonna try it.

20g of sugar/L, oof

Nose:
Slightly funky, ripe fruits, Pineapple's leafes

Taste:
Jamaican rum dominates the blend. Slightly funky, ripe fruits, unnaturally sweet, definitely not plenty of flavour. I dont taste any pineapple here honestly.

Finish: Non Existant, tastes like a sweet water after a sip.

The only advantage of this rum is the fact that it is pretty allright in cocktails

If you are thinking about getting this bottle. No, don't do that.
Here are some better options:
-Chairman's Legacy
-Doorlys 12
-Doorlys XO
-Flor de Cana 12
-Equiano
-Papalin 7yo (If u want that funky Jamaican flavour)
-The Real McCoy 12
-Appleton 12\

Also I truely reccomend reading this article about rum sweetening

Stay away from Plantation
cheers

Was smooth and flavorful! First time really drinking Rum straight

Mostly smoke and alcohol, very slight hint of pineapple. Decent for mixing. Shame, I really wanted to like it.

Milk chocolate on the nose, woody with well balanced pineapple notes at the finish. Quite nice but not the best

Tasted at Laka Lono on 10/23/18. Candyland aroma. Tingy mouthfeel of pinapple, but smooth beyond that. Deceptively unsweet to the taste. Robust and hot finish.

Everything about this rum is good. It's easy to drink straight and mixes well with anything. It's one of my must have in the bar rums. I'll buy barrels of it if they'll let me.

pokud očekáváte ovocnou bombu, tak se jí nedočkáte. Velmi jemný náznak ananasu

I have really found I enjoy Plantation's offerings, so expected this to be something I would enjoy and was correct. Obviously a lot is mentioned here about sugar added in Plantation rums, but that has never been a problem for me. I test this rum with a pineapple daiquiri as well as a pineapple rum old fashioned and both did not disappoint.

I do think there seems to be a misconception of what this pineapple rum is. It's rum with pineapple notes, not citrus acid. So if you're expecting rum and pineapple juice that is not this. The pineapple notes are subtle but very noticeable if doing a side by side tasting with say Plantation 5 year.

Update: After spending more time with this rum it has moved from 7 to 8 for me. I find this to be a good budget-ish sipper. It's fun because of the pineapple notes and with Plantations sugar added it's kind of like a cocktail sipper neat. I think there is a good value in this one.

This rhum is very well balanced ! Perfectly adjusted between the ananas flavor without compromising the Spirit of great quality rhum!
Well done Maison Ferrand !
