How does this rum taste?

MHOBA's Franky's Pineapple offers a polarizing experience. While some adore its punchy, un-sweetened pineapple and woody ester charm for cocktail flair, others find it too vegetal, with a bitter char that overshadows its tropical potential.

“This should be a Rum to generate some discussion, one either likes it or hates it. I never had a Pineapple infused Rum and was quite curious. Smell and taste remind me of a joung higher ester Jamaican, the Pineapple is there but complements this instead of being to forward. I also believe that this one is not sweetened, which helps in my opinion. This is something to sip when one needs some relaxation without stressing mind and senses, it is nice and not overly complex. I believe there might also be some cocktail applications.”
