<p>Who knew that great literature could be this tasty? </p><p><em>Plantation Rum</em> is owned by French Cognac producer Maison Ferrand, who control no less than a dozen major brands premium spirits and liqueurs. Sometimes that is an iffy proposition, but not in this case because the folks at Ferrand are all about quality … and you can taste it. Plantation Rum is their top shelf Rum label. And mighty good stuff it is, too. They offer a variety of Rums from the Caribbean. Depending on the plantation and the country of origin, the Rums can vary between <em>soft</em> and <em>aromatic</em> to <em>light</em> and <em>elegant</em> … each one showing the gentle, experienced influence of Maison Ferrand.</p><p><em>“The Pickwick Papers” </em>was the first novel written by the famous author <em>Charles Dickens</em>. One of the minor characters in that book — a Reverend Stiggins — complimented and enjoyed “pineapple Rum.” Plantation Rum set out to recreate this eighteenth-century literary delicacy. To make their <em>Plantation Stiggins’ Fancy Dark Pineapple Rum</em> they take their signature Plantation Dark Rum and infuse fresh, hand cut Victoria pineapple fruit for three months. Simultaneously, they infuse the cut pineapple rinds for three months in Plantation 3-star Rum. Those two infusions are then married in casks. The result is an award-winning specialty <em>“cocktail in a bottle.”</em></p>
