What is Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum?
Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum is a unique spirit that infuses ripe Queen Victoria pineapples with dark rum, creating a beautifully balanced and aromatic expression. Interestingly, this rum pays homage to Reverend Stiggins, a character from Charles Dickens' "The Pickwick Papers," who had a fondness for pineapple rum - making it a delightful blend of literary inspiration and tropical flavors.
Why do we love Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum?
Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum stands out for its unique production method, which involves infusing both the rinds and flesh of Queen Victoria pineapples into rum. This process creates a harmonious blend of tropical fruit flavors and classic rum notes, resulting in a spirit that's both versatile in cocktails and delightful on its own.
How do you drink Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum?
Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum shines in tropical-inspired cocktails, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or over ice to fully appreciate its complex pineapple and rum flavors. This versatile spirit is perfect for warm weather sipping, pairing beautifully with grilled seafood, spicy Caribbean dishes, or tropical fruit desserts for a taste of island living any time of year.
Nose: Fresh pineapple and tropical fruit aromas dominate, balanced by vanilla, caramel, and warm oak notes. Subtle hints of clove and nutmeg add complexity. The alcohol is well-integrated, allowing the fruity and spicy notes to shine.
Palate: Smooth and rich with a prominent pineapple flavor that's natural and not overly sweet. Vanilla and caramel from the rum base provide depth. Spice notes of cinnamon and star anise emerge. The mouthfeel is full-bodied with a slight oiliness that coats the tongue.
Finish: Long and warming with lingering pineapple and spice. The sweetness fades, revealing more of the rum's oak influence. A slight tannic dryness appears, reminiscent of pineapple skin. The finish leaves a pleasant, tropical warmth that invites another sip.
Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum is crafted by infusing Planteray Original Dark Rum with fresh Victoria pineapples, which are first macerated in the rum for a week before being distilled. The resulting pineapple distillate is then blended back into more Planteray Original Dark Rum, along with a small amount of pineapple rinds that have been separately macerated in white rum, creating a beautifully balanced and aromatic pineapple rum.
