Planteray Pineapple Rum

Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum is the expression that single-handedly revived a lost 19th-century tradition — and became one of the most celebrated and widely demanded rum releases of the modern era. Named after Reverend Stiggins, the fictional hypocritical temperance preacher from Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers who secretly adored his pineapple rum, Stiggins' Fancy was created by Alexandre Gabriel in collaboration with legendary cocktail historian David Wondrich after painstaking research into original Victorian pineapple rum recipes. The production method is as extraordinary as the story behind it — Queen Victoria pineapples are peeled by hand and the rinds infused in Planteray 3 Stars White Rum for one week before distillation in copper pot stills, while separately the ripe pineapple flesh is infused in Planteray Original Dark Rum for three full months. Both components are then carefully blended and married in French oak for three months before bottling at 40% ABV. Pineapple aroma leaps from the glass — underpinned by robust caramel, molasses, and banana — while the palate opens with ripe banana, fresh pineapple, and baking spices, finishing long with vanilla, roasted pineapple, and a touch of smoky oak.
