Planteray Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple Rum is a masterfully crafted flavored rum that pays homage to Reverend Stiggins, a pineapple-loving character from Charles Dickens’ The Pickwick Papers. Unlike typical flavored rums, this one is made using a traditional and labor-intensive method: fresh Queen Victoria pineapples are infused into Planteray Original Dark Rum, while the pineapple rinds are separately macerated in high-proof rum and redistilled. The two are then blended, resulting in a naturally flavored, aromatic, and richly complex rum that’s beloved by bartenders and sippers alike.
