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.

Plantation Original Dark
Jamaica & Barbados Rum 40%

The essence of Plantation Original Rum lies in its truly rich taste. This rum is made as it was in the olden days, when it was highly flavoursome. We handpick each barrel, one by one, and blend elegant double-aged rum from Barbados with a smaller quantity of rich, high ester, pot-still Jamaican rum that has been extensivily matured. This precious rum nectar imparts an ancient touch which some aficionados call the "rum funk". In former days out in the Caribean, it was called the "HOGO", a term derived from the French ´Haut Goût´, which means ´High Taste´ I learned from an old cellar master that this is the way rum was blended in 18th and 19th centuries.

Three Stars Rum

The Three Stars of the Caribbean
Barbados Island:
Their pot stills instills depth of flavour and a wide aromatic range to the blend while column stills bring lighter notes and consistency. Good rums from Barbadis are well rounded and show perfect balance between richness and elegance with subtle sugar cane and sweet tropical fruit notes and light banana-type aroma.

Jamaica Island:
Rum is fundamental to Jamaican culture: even non-drinkers will have a bottle at home, to offer a sip to guest or to use as a little "medicine" for what ails them. Jamaican rum are the fullest flavor, woth much character and individuality. They present all aromas of Jamaica: Molasses, banana and tropical fruits. The highly aromatic Jamaican style - having a heavy, backbone, with no compromise - has always been envied.

Trinidad Island:
The distillers here use mainly column stills to produce the lighter bodied and stylish Trinidadian style rum. Despite the fact the Trinidad is the home of bitters, the rum has finese and elegance. It shows delicate notes of citrus and gentle spices woth a touch of vanilla that comes from the oak barrels it is age in.

Plantation Overproof Rum 69%
O.F.T.D. - Old Fashioned Traditional Dark

Plantation O.F.T.D Overproof:
Back in the Age of sail, the rum was rich flavorful and strong. It had to be, because nobody was going to hand it out to sailors without first tuning it into punch, or at least cutting it with water, and the rum had to be able to stand up to that. Plantation O.F.T.D is our take on that classic style. And not just ours; to join him on the quest ti get the blend and the proof just right, our award winning Cellar Master, Alexandre Gabriel, sourced rums-joints around the world to find six grizzled old salts who knew which end of a rum-bottle was which. Together they came up with this blend of Guyana, Jamaica and Barbados rums, bottled at (just to be on the safe side) a full 20 degrees overproof, according to the way they used to measure these tings in the Royal Navy.
