Plantation Stiggins‘ Fancy Pineapple Rum

 You can add a drop of water or two to release those flavours, but you can also let it rest for a while to get the same result. Price to quality is good.

 Pleasant rum, but I don't like when they add flavors manually as in this case with pineapple.

 Great pineapple rum

 Bad experience

 Ich bin hier vorbelastet, da Stiggins mehr Einstieg in 'besseren Rum' war. Als Advokat für Transparenz im Gin war das hier ergo eine Erleuchtung in Sachen Rum - den ich bis dato halt als übersüßte und/oder aromatisierte Plörre kannte. Die Produktionsinfos hier waren also eine vielversprechende Erleuchtung. Und dabei bleibt es weiterhin. Ich liebe das Zeug. Super fruchtige Nase aber unaufdringlich. Butterig, Karamell und reife, echte Ananas in der Nase. Diese sähmige Süße dann auch im Mund, bevor dann die prickelnde Ananas durchkommt. Verschiedene Schichten Frucht und Süße zwischendrin. Absolute Wucht im Daiquiri oder Rumgroni. Nachtrag: super natürliche Ananas im Vergleich zu allem anderem am Markt. Bin immer wieder neu verliebt.

 Als cocktail Alkohol ist der super

 This Plantation does exactly what it was created for... delicious cocktails. It is hardly enjoyable neat. Too sweet, too light, too one-dimensional. But, as I said, that's perfectly fine. Just back in the PinaColada 😋👍🏻

 I'm divided here. Perfect as a mixer (6.5) with Coke, ginger beer and also for cocktails. Terrible neat (4.4 points) When approaching the glass pineapple tones which are covered by poorly integrated alcohol tones as soon as the nose is in the glass. Sour and vanilla aromas. On the palate acidity, alcohol, charcoal, wood and light fruit aromas. Aftertaste alcoholic and sour... Not my taste, unfortunately gives me nothing.

 Some good stuff for a flavoured rum as its naturally infused. It has a very distinctly fruity smell, that's not immediately distinguishable as pineapple for me. once tasded though it becomes clear. However, you can smell and taste that the rum itself hasn't aged too long, besides being cery sweet. I'm keen on trying it in some cocktails

 Not good as a sipping rum in my opinion. Can be decent in some mixed drinks, but there are many other things I would rather use. Has some off chemical notes in the finish..

 Very pleasant mixer. Pure not quite a big number, but in the cocktail he comes very nice. Therefore 66/100

 An interesting mixer for the bar. Defintly not something to drink neat but as a mixer it has its place. Very very sweet, and there is definitly a lot of pineapple! It would go well in a tropical fruit punch style drink. I didn't try it neat as I dont think that's the point of the drink, mixed with the likes of Lemon solo it makes for a very refreshing summer beverage!

 The nose has the expected big hit of pineapple but there are other fruit notes present. A butteryness which reminds me of younger Appleton Estate rums. The palate has green apple, vanilla, cream and a honey note all under the big hit of pineapple. The finish is quite short but nice. Pineapple with a hint of wood. Overall this is very good. Especially for a spirit drink. But no need for snobbery, I like this.

 Not many surprises with this rum: pineapple dominates the nose and palate. There's a little room left for vanilla and a toasted sensation. The whole is very round and sweet. Enjoy as a cocktail.

 06.2024 Erster Eindruck: Ananas! schon beim Öffnen der Flasche, schöne Legs im Glas Nase: Ananas, süße Früchte, bißchen Funk Gaumen: Alkohol, Früchte, Holz … in dieser Reihenfolge Abgang: Holz, Vanille, mittellang Gesamteindruck: meine ursprüngliche Begeisterung ist etwas abgekühlt (von 7,7 auf 7,4), weil er zum pur Sippen doch zu wenig komplex, im Mixer aber immer noch ein interessanter Akzent ist. 2022 Harmonisch abgestimmter Feierabend- und Party-Sipper, Frucht und Alkohol sind gut eingebunden und dennoch prägnant, insgesamt sehr schön rund und trotzdem interessant.
