Crafted by Maison Ferrand under the direction of Alexandre Gabriel, this expressive spirit combines traditional Caribbean rum with the rich aroma of freshly prepared Victoria pineapples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts distinctive flavour comes from a two-part production method in which pineapple peels are infused and redistilled with Planteray 3 Stars white rum while the ripe pineapple flesh is separately infused into Planteray Original Dark. The resulting components are blended to create a sophisticated balance of fresh pineapple, tropical fruit, caramel, vanilla and warming spice. Unlike many conventional pineapple-flavoured spirits, Stiggins' Fancy emphasises the natural character of the fruit alongside the complexity of traditional Caribbean rum. For Drinkero, it is an excellent choice for Pineapple Daiquiri, Mai Tai variations, tropical Rum Punch, Piña Colada variations and other cocktails that benefit from a naturally aromatic pineapple rum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm golden amber with attractive copper and honey-coloured

delicate hints of clove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and rounded, combining ripe pineapple, caramelised tropical fruit, soft vanilla and gentle

by Maison Ferrand, the French spirits producer recognised for its expertise in traditional distillation, blending and oak maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe brand was originally established under the Plantation name in 1999, with the objective of exploring distinctive rum-making traditions from the Caribbean and other regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the direction of Alexandre Gabriel, Maison Ferrand developed an approach that combines carefully selected rum components with blending techniques designed to preserve their regional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, the portfolio expanded to include traditional white rums, aged expressions, overproof blends and innovative products developed specifically for cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe brand adopted the Planteray name in 2024 while maintaining its established approach to Caribbean rum production and blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStiggins' Fancy Pineapple represents one of the brand's most distinctive creations, combining traditional rum with the natural aromatic character of fresh pineapple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than producing a simple sweet pineapple-flavoured spirit, the project was developed around a more elaborate infusion and redistillation technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a rum that celebrates both traditional Caribbean production and the long history of tropical fruit in punches and mixed drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInspired by the Reverend Stiggins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unusual name Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple comes from a literary reference to the character Reverend Stiggins in Charles Dickens' novel \u003cem\u003eThe Pickwick Papers\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe character is remembered for his enthusiastic appreciation of pineapple rum despite his public association with temperance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis historic reference inspired Alexandre Gabriel and drinks historian David Wondrich to explore the idea of recreating a traditional pineapple-infused rum for modern cocktail making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePineapple rum had been associated with historic punches and tropical beverages long before modern flavoured spirits became widely available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe development project therefore focused on creating a rum that captured the natural character of fresh pineapple without losing the complexity of its Caribbean base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe team experimented with different pineapple varieties and preparation methods before selecting Victoria pineapples for their aromatic intensity and balanced sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStiggins' Fancy was subsequently developed using complementary white and dark rum components, each treated differently with the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting expression combines an interesting historical inspiration with an innovative production process particularly suitable for contemporary cocktail preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMade with Real Victoria Pineapples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the defining characteristics of Planteray Stiggins' Fancy is its use of \u003cstrong\u003ereal Victoria pineapples\u003c\/strong\u003e, a variety valued for its pronounced aroma, rich fruit character and natural sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVictoria pineapples are smaller than many conventional commercial varieties but are particularly prized for their intense flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is carefully selected and prepared before being incorporated into the rum through a two-part process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike conventional pineapple-flavoured spirits that may rely heavily on added flavouring concentrates, Stiggins' Fancy derives its distinctive pineapple character from the fruit itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer peel and the ripe fruit flesh are used separately because they contribute different aromatic characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePineapple peel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains aromatic compounds that can provide freshness, bright pineapple fragrance and subtle vegetal complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePineapple flesh:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contributes richer ripe-fruit aromas, rounded sweetness and a deeper tropical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing both components allows the finished rum to develop a more layered pineapple profile than would typically result from a single infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis careful selection and preparation of the fruit is central to the distinctive character of Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Unique Two-Part Pineapple Infusion Process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlanteray Stiggins' Fancy is produced through an unusual method that combines pineapple infusion with redistillation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with two established rums from the Planteray range: the lighter 3 Stars white rum and the richer Original Dark rum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese rums provide complementary flavour profiles that interact differently with the pineapple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep one – pineapple peel infusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e The outer peel of Victoria pineapples is infused into Planteray 3 Stars white rum, allowing the fruit's aromatic compounds to become incorporated into the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep two – redistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The pineapple-peel infusion is redistilled to create an aromatic spirit that captures the bright and fragrant character of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep three – pineapple flesh infusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e The ripe pineapple flesh is separately immersed in Planteray Original Dark rum, allowing its richer fruit aromas to combine with the dark rum's caramel and spice notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep four – blending:\u003c\/strong\u003e The resulting pineapple-infused dark rum and pineapple-peel distillate are carefully combined to create the finished expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighter rum component contributes freshness and aromatic lift, while the darker rum provides body, depth and a richer tropical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis method creates a naturally pineapple-infused rum that retains a recognisable Caribbean rum foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a sophisticated balance of fresh pineapple, ripe tropical fruit, caramel, vanilla and warming spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCaribbean Rum from Three Distinct Origins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlanteray Stiggins' Fancy combines the aromatic character of pineapples with the complexity of traditional Caribbean rum production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe underlying rum components come from the regions represented in the Planteray 3 Stars and Original Dark blends, including Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach rum-producing region contributes distinctive characteristics to the overall blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarbados:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditionally associated with balanced rum production, combining rich pot-still components with lighter column-still distillates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJamaica:\u003c\/strong\u003e Particularly recognised for expressive tropical fruit aromas and traditional pot-still rum, often contributing ripe banana and pineapple-like aromatic intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrinidad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Known for refined rum styles that can contribute a lighter, cleaner structure to blended Caribbean expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese complementary styles create a versatile foundation for the pineapple infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruity character of Jamaican rum harmonises with the fresh pineapple, while lighter components help maintain balance and prevent the finished spirit from becoming excessively heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe darker rum components contribute additional depth, caramel and subtle oak characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy combining these regional traditions, Stiggins' Fancy offers more complexity than a simple fruit-flavoured spirit made using a neutral alcohol base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Pineapple Changes the Character of Rum\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePineapple is one of the most recognisable tropical fruits used in Caribbean cocktails, valued for its combination of sweetness, acidity and distinctive fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen incorporated into rum through natural infusion, pineapple can complement the fruit and molasses-derived aromas already present in the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStiggins' Fancy combines the bright fragrance of pineapple peel with the deeper ripe-fruit character obtained from the pineapple flesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural fruit aroma complements the base rum's notes of caramel, vanilla, banana and warming spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with conventional white rum, it offers a richer tropical fruit profile and a more pronounced pineapple character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with traditional dark rum, its fruit-forward aroma provides additional freshness and a more distinctive tropical identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike high-strength Jamaican overproof rum, Stiggins' Fancy is designed to be expressive and approachable at a standard 40% alcohol strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is particularly useful for cocktails where pineapple flavour is desirable without relying exclusively on pineapple juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also enables bartenders to introduce pineapple character into cocktails that would otherwise contain no fruit juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlanteray Stiggins' Fancy stands out through its combination of traditional Caribbean rum, real Victoria pineapples and a distinctive two-part infusion and redistillation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of pineapple peel and fruit flesh separately allows the producer to capture complementary aromatic characteristics from the same fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts combination of white and dark rum creates a rounded flavour profile with both refreshing tropical fruit and richer caramel notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many conventional fruit-flavoured spirits, the finished rum retains the character of its Caribbean rum components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural pineapple aroma makes it particularly attractive for home bartenders interested in tropical drinks and creative rum cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 40% alcohol by volume, it is suitable for recipes designed around standard-strength rum without the additional adjustments required for overproof spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts versatility extends beyond traditional tropical cocktails, making it an interesting ingredient for spirit-forward drinks and modern variations of familiar recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor Drinkero, Stiggins' Fancy provides a distinctive pineapple-infused rum that complements the existing selection of white, aged, dark, spiced and overproof Caribbean rums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect for Cocktails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlanteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple is particularly suitable for tropical cocktails, classic rum drinks and modern variations where natural pineapple aroma can enhance the finished drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePineapple Daiquiri:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combine Stiggins' Fancy with freshly squeezed lime juice and sugar syrup.

Its tropical fruit and caramel notes complement the almond sweetness and bright citrus character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJungle Bird Variation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combine Stiggins' Fancy with bitter red aperitivo, pineapple juice, fresh lime juice and sugar syrup. The pineapple-infused rum reinforces the cocktail's tropical flavour while complementing its distinctive bittersweet character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRum Punch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix Stiggins' Fancy with pineapple juice, orange juice, fresh lime and a carefully balanced sweetener.
