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."

"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 😋👍🏻"

"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"

"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."

"Pretty decent as a cocktail rum, and actually not too terrible to sip either."

"Revisiting and I essentially agree with what I initially said but after whole bottle is almost gone, I need to correct myself and take a few points off my initial score. Generally speaking I love rums with cognac finish. Essentially, I like Plantation rums. This one is no different from others in terms of finishing. When it comes to pineapple, it is very distinctively incorporated. Let me explain why. In the nose you can tell it is very fruity with notes of green apple but predominantly pineapple. It has a sweet aroma so that is what I expect from the taste. Not happening. The sweetness is very mild (typical of plantation rums such as guayana/belize) and the pineapple is only in the background. This is how I imagine the real taste of macerated fruit in rum, no artificial flavors, no necessary sweetness, just pure art and joy. I also have a ,,teeling finish,, version of this rum that I am looking forward to review."

"Solider pineapple mix rum. Mittelklasse."

"Very artificial...sweetened tangy pineapple."

"Bad experience"

"6,5:On the nose, the power and freshness of the pineapple are simply impressive. It's like having a freshly opened pineapple right in front of you. Vanilla and pear aromas follow. Rum is not forgotten, and also makes its presence felt. 6,3:On the palate, contrary to what you'd expect from a rum, it's not sweet. Fresh pineapple dominates the palate, followed by vanilla. 6,2:The finish is rather long, on a pleasant blend of pineapple and vanilla, which play off each other for quite a while."
