The production begins with aromatic Victoria pineapples, a variety selected after extensive trials for its balance of sweetness and flavour. Pineapple rinds are infused in Planteray 3 Stars Rum and then redistilled, while the fruit itself is separately immersed in Planteray Original Dark Rum. These two components are subsequently brought together to capture genuine pineapple character without relying on a simple added flavouring. The resulting rum combines spirit from Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad and is bottled at 40% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aromatic profile is tropical yet structured, with pineapple joined by banana, pear, citrus and warming spice rather than overt confectionary sweetness. On the palate, juicy pineapple and coconut are balanced by gentle acidity and the drier influence of wood, giving the spirit more depth than a conventional fruit-flavoured rum. Notes of ripe banana, baking spice and subtle oak develop through the mid-palate, while the pineapple remains integrated rather than overpowering. Its combination of fruit, spice and rum character has made Stiggins’ Fancy particularly popular with bartenders for Daiquiris, Mai Tais and other tropical cocktails. It can also be enjoyed neat or over ice, where its layered pineapple character and underlying rum complexity become especially apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Tropical, expressive and gently spiced\u003cbr\u003eFresh pineapple, ripe banana and pear with citrus, subtle baking spice and a light underlying woody character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Juicy, rounded and balanced\u003cbr\u003ePineapple and coconut lead the palate, supported by ripe tropical fruit, gentle acidity, spice and restrained oak dryness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Lingering, fruity and gently dry\u003cbr\u003ePineapple and warm spice persist alongside subtle woody notes and a clean, balanced conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorld Rum Awards 2025 – Gold \u0026amp; Style Winner\u003cbr\u003eBartenders’ Brand Awards 2024 – Design Gold\u003cbr\u003eSpirits Business Rum \u0026amp; Cachaça Masters 2023 – Gold\u003cbr\u003eBeverage Testing Institute 2023 – Gold\u003cbr\u003eUltimate Spirits Challenge 2022 – Top 100 Spirits \u0026amp; Chairman’s Trophy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaker - Maison Ferrand\u003cbr\u003eType - Rum\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Barbados\u003cbr\u003eABV - 40%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 700ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Planteray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44503324721239,"sku":"PLANT-STIG-PINE","price":84.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/72ecc476-0b88-4be4-92d4-e8e82e16cbd3.webp?v=1792442111","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/planteray-stiggins-fancy-pineapple-rum-700ml","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
