Plantation Original Pineapple Rum (75cl, 40%)

A pineapple-infused rum blending Barbados and Jamaican spirits with real Victoria pineapple, also known as Stiggins' Fancy. Maison Ferrand produces it using a dual-infusion technique: Victoria pineapple rinds are infused into Plantation 3 Stars white rum and redistilled, while the fruit's flesh is infused into Plantation Original Dark rum. The two components are blended and finished in French oak Ferrand Cognac casks. The Barbados component is distilled in a twin-column and a historic 1850 Batson pot still at West Indies Rum Distillery, while the Jamaican component comes from a John Dore pot still at Long Pond Distillery, fermented over two weeks. The nose has roasted pineapple, caramel, toffee, warm baking spices, pineapple rind, molasses and coconut. The palate is velvety, with charred pineapple, citrus zest, brown sugar, coconut, light peppered spice, molasses and vanilla. The finish is medium-long, round and buttery, with ripe pineapple, soft oak, toffee and gentle spice.
