Planteray Stiggins Fancy Pineapple Rum 1L

Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple is pineapple-infused rum built on an 1824 recipe with drinks historian David Wondrich. Maison Ferrand steeps Victoria pineapple flesh in Planteray Original Dark, distills the rinds separately after infusing them in 3 Stars rum, then blends the two and rests them in barrels. It is named after Reverend Stiggins in Dickens' Pickwick Papers and is bottled at 40%.

It is spiced caramelized pineapple first, then stone fruit, nougat and a warm finish like pineapple crème brûlée.

Nothing else on our shelf does pineapple this well: it tastes of real fruit and rum, not candy. For a sweeter, lighter pineapple rum, there is Malibu Pineapple.

The producer's Daiquiri is 50ml rum, 15ml lime and 10ml syrup, shaken hard. It is also excellent in a Mai Tai, a Piña Colada or simply over ice.

The rest of the Planteray range is under rum. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery in Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens.
