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

Product Information

Plantation Original Dark showcases toasty oak tannins and burnt Demerara sugar notes with Christmas fruitcake, funky Jamaican fruit, and a spicy crème brûlée aftertaste. 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. The spirit of this fictitious character inspired a brand new style of rum. But despite being macerated and purified in pineapple, Plantation Stiggins’ Fancy doesn’t taste particularly like pineapple. You could taste its subtle notes, but it’s far from a pineapple-flavored rum.

The secret to the success of Plantation’s pineapple rum is the distillation process. First, Queen Victoria pineapples are stripped and the rind is macerated into the house’s white rum, which is already a 3 star product, and left to impart their flavours for one week. Then, the flesh of the pineapples is added during the distillation of a combination of the light rum and a dark rum in a pot still. The pulp is left to develop its flavours for a whole three months so it can permeate the dark rum. When the two spirits are married together, the result is a rich, fruity rum with the real flavours of pineapple. First place went to Nico de Soto of Mace in New York and Danico in Paris. His recipe calls for a total of three rums: the aforementioned Plantation pineapple rum; New Grove Plantation white rum, which has notes of guava and banana, from the island of Mauritius; and Père Labat 40, an agricole-style rum from the island of Marie-Galante. To this is added three-quarters of an ounce of pineapple juice, a half-ounce of lime juice and a quarter-ounce of rich cane syrup. Arriving with no garnish other than a fluffy crown of froth, thanks to the fresh pineapple juice, McGee described it as “archetypal” while Favre found that “the cane flavor of the rum supports the fruit,” for a particularly balanced and integrated expression of the drink. Just like their Grande Reserve, Plantation Barbados 5 Years is produced from a blend of Barbadian rums, aged for three to four years in the tropical climate of Barbados. Before the success of the Plantation Stiggins’ Fancy, pineapple rum was hardly a real concept. However, that would all change in the coming years, as several new producers started rolling out their own pineapple-inspired rums. So, what’s Pineapple Rum?Though this rum is usually aged in a rum cask, some producers opt for a second aging process in a Cognac cask. Výročný karibský rum Plantation 20th Anniversary XO 40% sa v podstate okamžite zaradil k najpredávanejším na svete. Vzdáva hold dvadsiatemu výročiu pôsobenia Alexandra Gabriela v jeho materskej destilérke – Maison Ferrand vo Francúzsku (len pre zaujímavosť, spoločnosť bola založená v roku 1989, prvý Plantation rum uzrel svetlo sveta v roku 1999). Rum samotný vzniká niekoľkoročným zrením v sudoch po bourbone na Barbadose (zmes 10-15 ročných rumov), následne sa preváža do Francúzska kde ešte zreje v dubových sudoch po svetoznámom koňaku Pierre Ferrand. This is how I most often make the drink. Because often I’m making a bunch of them for a party or a dinner, and it’s both easy and delicious. Adding half an ounce of say, apricot liqueur can add an extra layer to the drink. Splitting the base and using 2 or even 3 different rums, can add complexity. My favorite daiquiri. This version of Old Fashioned is made with pineapple rum, demerara syrup, lime bitters, overproof rum, and ginger bitters.

Hemingway certainly knew his drinks, and his twist on a classic daiquiri includes grapefruit juice for a tangy, bittersweet note which complements the sweet pineapple flavours of the rum perfectly. This brand is essentially Plantation’s slightly more approachable (but unsweetened) take on the higher-ester, funkier Jamaican rum that is so beloved by the rum community, and increasingly being discovered by the average consumer. This is a 100% pot still blend of rums from Jamaica’s Clarendon and Long Pond distilleries, coming from John Dore and Vendome pot stills, lightly aged for 1-3 years tropically and then married for 1 years in France in Ferrand casks previously used to mature cognac. In this way, Plantation puts their signature spin on this Jamaican rum, although in this case there’s no dosage, which is what makes this one “special dry.” Fans of Jamaican “funk” should know that this one is modestly estery, at 156 g/hL AA.It’s perhaps unsurprising, then, that the casual rum drinker and the serious rum geek often have wildly differing reactions and estimation of a company like Plantation Rum. This is a complex topic; one that takes into account ownership, secondary finishing practices, legal lobbying and transparency in labeling. Suffice to say, the Plantation brand has long been something of a lightning rod for discussion among rum devotees. We’ve seen the mango rum trend. And we’ve seen the orange rum trend. But now, it’s time for pineapple. Rum from Fiji has been all the rage among the rum geeks in the last few years, so it’s no surprise that Maison Ferrand wanted a piece of that action, if the category were to continue catching on. This is a pretty standard Fijian rum, a blend of pot and column still rums aged tropically for 2-3 years in bourbon casks before the usual 1 year of finishing in Ferrand casks in France. It’s lightly estery, with a moderate level of dosage.

Both the flesh of the fruit and its skin can be used to make rum. First, the fruit and the skin are submerged in rum. Depending on the recipe, they could be put in an additional type of rum after the first one. 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. It is presented in a squat Scotch-style bottle with a bright and colourful label depicting tropical flowers, birds, and lizards and boldly marked “Isle of Fiji.” On The Nose What I love about this drink, and daiquiris in particular is that you can do so much to very easily mix them up. Plantation Original Dark Rum (Double Aged rum) je už na prvý pohľad nezvyčajná kombinácia jamajského a barbadoského rumu. Jamajský fermentuje 2 týždne, destiluje sa pomocou pot still zariadenia a zreje 10 až 15 rokov. Barbadoský zase fermentuje 3 dni, destilácia je dvojitá column still a pot still a zreje 1-3 roky. Po zmiešaní si ešte tradične „oddýchne“ vo Francúzsku v sudoch po koňaku – tentoraz 3 až 6 mesiacov. Pred fľašovaním sa doň ešte pridáva cukor (15 g/l).

It has a warm, slightly spicy note from the cinnamon powder that pairs well with the tart flavor of the lemon juice and the sweet, tropical flavor of the pineapple juice. Coke goes well with Pineapple Rum if you like sweet drinks because Pineapple Rum has a sweet and fruity flavor, and when mixed with Coke which is also sweet will result in a very sweet drink.

You can even find newspaper advertisements from the 18th and 19th centuries advertising pineapple-distilled rum. All of this rum was being exported from the Caribbean. Pineapple provides freshness and sharpness that few other fruits can provide. It’s citrusy. It’s tropical. And it is oh-so-good. Depending on what type of rum is used to macerate the pineapples, you may also taste hints of a different rum, like white rum or spiced rum. The scent of your pineapple rum will also be affected by what kind of rum was used. In that post, I wrote about using the rum as a unique negroni variation, but for the average person, the most likely use case for this rum would be in a Pineapple daiquiri – also known as a Stiggins daiquiri.Still, it’s a fine mixer for your next poolside drink. And for what it’s worth, the price is pretty reasonable for both expressions.
