Plantation Pineapple Stiggin's Fancy

Interesanta combinatia de arome cu preponderenta cea de ananas. la inceput mi s-a parut ca este foarte dulce dar nu e asa. Acea aroma de ananas induce in eroare gustul care este perfect echilibrat si chiar deloc dulceag, suficient de fin pentru straight sau on the rocks!

This rum was my first introduction to Plantation rums. I had read a lot about them, and was very excited to taste this rum. Maybe I was setting the bar too high, but I was disappointed. It was obvious that the rum was high quality with a slight pineapple flavor. The rum was thick, low burn, complex, but I just couldn't find a way to enjoy drinking this. I tried it neat, with water, on the rocks, in a coke, even mixed in with POG juice. Every time the rum dominated the drink and was just not enjoyable. I wanted a lighter rum that would compliment a mixed drink, but this overpowered every drink. I waited a month until I finished the bottle, but I never really connected with this rum. High quality for sure, but I never found a way to enjoy it.

Very subtle pjnapple taste to this rum. The aroma is comming through nicely and is definitely on the background. Not too much complexity but there is some and you do taste (a bit) of the classic plantation taste. Nice to try this but I got this for 40 euros (you can get it for 30 on some websites) which is kinda expensive. Pay a bit more and you can enjoy the XO. It's a nice rum on the rocks and great in a cocktail. Sipping straight is fine also but it does have a harsh burn. But ok, you are a rum lover which means you are a pirate by heart so if you can't handle that start drinking Bacardi breezers. Try this you won't be disappointed. It's just fun to try and it's a plantation so you can't really go wrong there.

Loved the smell but the taste was of sharp alcolhol, and not the sweet taste the smell had me hoping for

Apparently, rum and pineapple go very well together. The pineapple appears throughout in both the bouquet, palette and finish. It brings just the right amount of freshness and sweetness without overpowering the rum in any way. It's such a nice and easy sipper. Enjoy it straight up from the bottle. Definitely a re-buy!

Colour- light
Flavour- pineapple fruitiness
Uses- neat mixer
Its ok but not great straight it is however a very nice mixer makes a great pina colada or hurricane rum punch easy to find in M&S

Roasted pineapple aroma melds with the toffee and vanilla. Not over powering because it isn't flavored more like infused.

Ich war neugierig und habe ihn einfach mal mitgenommen. Kann man machen, muss man aber nicht. Aus meiner Sicht ähnlich unharmonisch wie ein weißer/ungereifter Rum. Ich unterstelle eine eher kurze Reifung und einen eher größeren Löffel Färbemittel. Die Ananas hat man allerdings geschmeckt. In einem etwas besser/länger gereiften Rum, könnte ich es mir gut vorstellen.

Special with that pineapple smell and taste.
Nice aftertaste.
Got it for 30$, very good :-)

I found the pineapple to be very up front and the rum a backdrop on which the pineapple sits. An interesting taste venture that's nice for some variety but not one I would regularly drink. Its sweet but not too sweet and its a very fresh true pineapple taste not a synthetic or false one.
Quite refreshing and one that would work very well in cocktails
