Plantation Rum Pineapple Smoky formula is an original rum with exotic, smoky flavors. This uniquely designed rum is the fruit of a collaboration between Plantation Rum and the Irish distillery Teeling.
Hand-peeled Victoria pineapple peel is first infused for 1 week with Plantation 3 Stars white rum. After re-distillation of the juice in a traditional copper still, the pineapple flesh is infused for several months with Plantation Original Dark aged rum. The distillate and infusion are then blended.
This edition is also finished in ex-casks of Teeling Blackpitts whiskey, a peated single malt.
Nico's tasting notes
On the nose, the pineapple juice is delicate and natural, and the rum develops a lovely closeness to the fruit. This roasted pineapple, not overly ripe, combines with other lighter, fresher, slightly acid fruits.
On the palate, the roasted pineapple takes charge but expresses itself subtly, without heaviness or exaggerated sweetness. It integrates delicately, remains light on the palate, and is lifted in the finish by a light, smoky touch that lasts over time.
"An interesting texture and balance, which will ultimately make this rum quite versatile..."
