Planteray Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple is one of those bottles that bartenders get genuinely excited about, and you’ll find it earning its keep behind the bar at Camp West here in West Seattle. Made by Planteray (the rum house formerly known as Plantation), this is a pineapple-infused rum built on real fruit rather than syrupy shortcuts. It’s a modern tiki essential, and it brings a bright, tropical lift to our cabin-inspired corner of the Junction.
About the Distillery
Planteray is the rum brand created by Maison Ferrand, the French spirits house behind Ferrand Cognac and other respected labels. The brand rebranded from “Plantation” to “Planteray” in 2025, with no change to what’s inside the bottle. Planteray is known for sourcing rums from across the Caribbean and finishing many of them in France, marrying island tradition with a French maturation sensibility.
Style & Region
Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple is a Caribbean rum infused with Victoria pineapple. The recipe is a nod to a 19th-century pineapple rum referenced in Charles Dickens’ writing. The pineapple skins are infused and redistilled in Planteray 3 Stars rum, while the sweet flesh is steeped in the brand’s Original Dark rum, then the two are blended. The result is layered and complex rather than a one-note tropical sweetener.
Tasting Notes
Expect ripe, smoky-sweet pineapple up front, backed by warm baking spice, a little caramel, and a gentle vanilla roundness from the dark-rum base. It’s juicy and aromatic without being cloying, with a long, lightly toasty finish that keeps the fruit honest.
How to Enjoy It at Camp West
Sip it neat or over a single big cube to appreciate the layering, or let our bartenders fold it into a tiki-style drink where it absolutely shines. It’s a natural in a daiquiri riff, a piña-forward swizzle, or anywhere you want real pineapple character. A pour runs $11. Ask the bar what they’re shaking with it tonight.
FAQ

Is this an artificially flavored rum?
No. The pineapple character comes from real Victoria pineapple, infused and distilled with the rum rather than added as flavoring.
