Production Notes

Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Dark Rum is a tribute to the character created by Charles Dickens in the Pickwick Papers, Reverend Stiggins, whose favourite drink was "pineapple rum." The barks of Victoria pineapples are infused in Plantation 3 Stars rum, which is then further distilled. Separately, the pineapple fruit is infused in Plantation Original Dark rum. Both distillate and fruit infusion are finally blended together, creating a rich and delicious pineapple bouquet, accented by smoky and clove notes. The production process creates structured, pleasant sensation of ripe banana, pineapple and spices layered in smoky finish. The Victoria pineapple bark infusion and fruit infusion showcase Alexandre Gabriel's artisanal approach and dedication to perfection. The rich and delicious bouquet features tropical fruit, pineapple, citrus peel and touch of clove, creating exceptional quality that reflects the passion and vision of Maison Ferrand's authentic spirits.
