Review #192; Rum #7: Plantation Pineapple

Plantation Pineapple Fancy Stiggins

Per Master of Malt “ To make it, they infuse the rinds of Queen Victoria pineapples in their white rum for a week then distil it, and infuse the fruit of the pineapples in dark rum for three months. These are married together and left to age in casks for three months. “

This does have sugar added to it, 23 g/L according to a blog I pulled this stat from.

ABV: 40%

Nose: Sweet Molasses, pineapple, pineapple bark, mango

Palate: Medium mouthfeel, little heat, Molasses, bark, pineapple, mango hint, tarty bitterness.

Finish: Short, pineapple, some mango, berries, slight bitterness like a tart blueberry.

Rating: 5/10

I am an admitted fan of this stuff and its just fine for what it is. Throw it in a glass and drink it, fill a rocks glass with ice and throw some of this in (shout out t8ke for that idea), mix it in with stuff. It’s a nice thing to be able to drink and not think about. Something I won’t mind having on my shelf.
