Planteray Rum Stiggins Fancy Original Dark Pineapple Spirit Drink 2.8L

1824 Pineapple cocktail historian David Wondrich, With help from the spirits and we've tried to revive this forgotten nectar. We relied on several ancient recipes, and added a few traditional techniques from our own bag of tricks. The 1824 English Journal of Patent and Inventions and the 1844 Journal of Agricultural Society were our main sources of inspiration along, of course, with Mr. Dickens. We infused ripe Queen Victoria pineapples in rich, aged Planteray Original Dark Rum for several months. Meanwhile, we macerated, also in rum, the bare rind of the fruit (where the pineapple's essential oil chiefly resides) and then distilled it, creating a bright pineapple essence to blend with the lushness of the infused Planteray Original Dark Rum. David and I did this project in part out of sheer curiosity. Also because the pineapple is the symbol of hospitality and of the Tales of the Cocktail® Apprentice Program (as the 1824 Journal of Patent Inven-tions notes, it was customary in the West Indies to offer pineapple rum to visiting european friends). Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple is our liquid "thank you" to the Tales Apprentices to you who do so much for us all. We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we did making it. Following the West Indian tradition, Planteray Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple is our gift to you. A.Gabriel & D.Wondrich
