Plantation Stiggins Fancy Pineapple Rum 70cl, 40% ABV Fruit-infused Rum

Product Information

To give you a better picture of how much rum this is, if diluted to 40% ABV, this much rum would fill up over 48 million of the standard 750 mL bottles we see today. This version of Mai Tai includes pineapple rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, coconut water, grenadine, orange wedges, and maraschino cherries for garnish.

Gabriel has always had an interest in how the Caribbean natives mature their rum. It was a process similar to maturing cognac, which intrigued Gabriel. Maison Ferrand even produced some bottles of cognac in the Caribbean. This tiki classic gets a delightful fruity twist with the addition of pineapple rum. We’ve upped the lime juice to balance out the sweetness, and lowered to orgeat to let the fruit flavours shine. Mix, drink, and imagine yourself on a white sandy beach. It was only a matter of time before Gabriel began producing rum. Using his knowledge of wooden cask aging, he was able to invent the Plantation Stiggins’ Fancy. O.F.T.D. officially stands for Old Fashioned Traditional Dark but if you ask any of the seven collaborators who were in the room when this blend was born, they’ll tell you it really stands for something else that was exclaimed when the winning rum was tasted… In 2015, one of the first mainstream attempts was made at incorporating pineapple in rum. The spirit was called Plantation Stiggins’ Fancy, a rum that’s soaked and distilled with pineapple.

Plantation Rum is made by France’s Maison Ferrand, who also own Ferrand Cognac and Citadelle Gin, among other brands. They buy up West Indian rums and give them extended ageing in oak barrels in France. Since 2017 they have also owned Barbados’ West Indian Rum Distillery, which also part-owns two historic Jamaican rum distilleries. Is Plantation Rum Good? Earlier this week I wrote about one of my favorite liquors (if not my absolute favorite) in the world: plantation pineapple rum. This sweet and velvety rum has notes of tropical fruits, orange marmalade and coconut. A smooth finish of vanilla and creamy caramel. Summary We’ve seen the mango rum trend. And we’ve seen the orange rum trend. But now, it’s time for pineapple.

This is one for pineapple lovers – the combination of pineapple rum and pineapple juice gives it that unmistakable flavour. The Campari adds a bitter note and the lime gives a bit of zing. It’s the perfect party drink! Wow, this tastes like a completely different rum. The lime really pulls out the pineapple without making it overly sweet. The biggest change is the baking spices. It’s reminiscent of a mulled cider. So what does pineapple rum taste like? Imagine a sweet, subtly fruity rum with perfect smoothness and a light finish. It tastes more sugary than your typical rum, but it isn’t overbearing. When the entrepreneurial Frenchman Alexandre Gabriel started the Maison brand, he set his sights on producing premium, quality cognac. Little did he know that he was going to introduce a revolutionary style of rum to the industry.For a more luxurious sipping experience, Plantation XO 20th Anniversary offers a complex and rich taste at a very reasonable price. As I mentioned previously, XO 20th Anniversary also makes a great rum and coke; maybe not what they had in mind, but trust me, it’s fantastic. Tropical notes of prunes and coconut and spiced fudge with the woodiness of French oak. A lingering and complex finish of resin, spice, and dried banana. Summary Plantation Rum totiž mení svoj názov ( zdroj). Dôvod? Podľa vyjadrenia výrobcu je to preto, aby touto zmenou podporila rasovú rovnosť – a to nielen vo svetle smrti afroameričana Georgea Floyda. Slovo Plantation (plantáž) totiž môže u niektorých vyvolávať nepriaznivé asociácie v súvislosti s otroctvom. Očakáva sa, že zmena značky by mala trvať viac ako 2 roky (teda sa to už blíži, toto vyhlásenie bolo totiž zverejnené už v roku 2020). Ide teda o zaujímavú informáciu aj pre zberateľov či potenciálnych investorov, redizajn značky totiž zväčša znamená celkom zaujímavé zhodnotenie pôvodného sortimentu. Rum s ľahkými kvetinovými tónmi. Aróma po kôstkovom ovocí (marhuľa, broskyňa…) v kombinácii s intenzívnou vanilkou. Prirodzene sladký rum má ovocné pozadie zvýraznené citrusmi, zaujme kakaový podtón. Záver je stredne dlhý, drevitý, a stále do ovocia s vanilkou. A trochu viac alkoholový (niet sa ale čo čudovať, rum je fľaškovaný pri sile 49,3%). Krátke zhodnotenie
