About this deal

Pineapple juice is a versatile ingredient with various alcohols like rum, vodka, tequila, gin, and coconut. What Drinks Mix Good With Rum?

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?The Best Sitcoms on Netflix Right Now (October 2023) By Garrett Martin and Paste Staff October 20, 2023 | 12:00pm 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. Earlier this week I wrote about one of my favorite liquors (if not my absolute favorite) in the world: plantation pineapple rum. Though this rum is usually aged in a rum cask, some producers opt for a second aging process in a Cognac cask. This version of Mai Tai includes pineapple rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, coconut water, grenadine, orange wedges, and maraschino cherries for garnish.

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. 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.These then have post-fermentation and distillation sugar added (a practice the brandy/cognac industry calls dosage). The rum is then aged in oak barrels in France for various lengths of time depending on the style of rum. Conclusion It was only a matter of time before Gabriel began producing rum. Using his knowledge of wooden cask aging, he was able to invent the Plantation Stiggins’ Fancy. On the nose of this one there’s plenty of brown sugar and some grilled pineapple, although it’s not particularly punchy—I genuinely think that if you gave this to someone blind and told them that it was simply “aged rum,” they wouldn’t suspect that there had been actual pineapple involved. On the palate I’m getting some roasted cane flavor, and a bit of that “raw” booze I was tasting in the Original Dark, paired with citrus, green apple and a puff of smoke. It honestly seems like a moderately aged rum that could be used in practically any application, rather than doubling down on drinks that already call for pineapple elements. 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.
