Plantation Pineapple Rum 40%
Plantation Original Dark Rum infused with Victorian Pineapple 40%
Artisanal Infusion
In nineteenth-century England, one of the most prized delicacy was a thing called "pineapple rum", a sipping spirit par excellent. Unfortunately, like many good things from the past, it eventually fell out of use and its memory has faded -unless, of course, you´re a reader of Charles Dickens´ immortal Pickwick Papers, in which it is featured prominently as the favoured drink of esteemed Rev. Stiggins. Well, "esteemed" is a strong word. It would take a perverse reader indeed to consider Mr. Stiggings as anything but a hypocrite for preaching temperance while largely existing on a diet of free drinks at Mrs. Weller´s pub. But it would take a reader just as perverse to deny his connoisseurship in the matter of those drinks. His endorsement of Mrs. Weller´s pineapple rum is good enough for us.
(The Reverend by the way, preferred to take his "warm" (i.e. with a splash of boiling water), with three lumps of sugar to the tumbler.")
Queen Victoria Pineapples:
Before the European arrival in the Americans, the pineapple, an American native, was cultivated by the Guarani people of the Caribbean. The Queen Victoria variety was first introduced in 1668 on Reunion Island; It is cinsidered the best in the world due to its rich, juicy flesh and sweet taste. It works beautifully with rum.
