Tasting Notes: Plantation Pineapple Stiggins’ Fancy Rum (40% ABV/80 proof)
Delicious rich ho-go rum bouquet with a touch of smoke married with aromatic notes of tropical fruit, Pineapple, delicate citrus peel and a touch of clove. The palate reveals a full bodied rum with a satisfying mouth-feel of rippened banana, pineapple, with spices and a smoky finish. The term ho-go comes from the French term haut-gout, which means “high taste” and is used to describe rums showing a tremendous amount of flavors, due to long fermentation of the molasses and non-rectifying distillation in tiny pot stills.
