Named after Reverend Stiggins in Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers, whose favourite drink was Mrs Weller's pineapple rum. Stiggins' Fancy was created by Alexandre Gabriel, cellar master Plantation and David Wondrich, author of the book Imbibe!, originally as a thank you to CAPs at Tales 2015.

Stiggins' Fancy is made by infusing ripe Queen Victoria pineapples in Plantation Original Dark Rum for three months. This is combined with a spirit made by infusing pineapple rind (where the fruit's essential oils are mainly found) in Plantation 3 Star Rum and then distilling this infusion. The blend is then aged in oak casks for three months prior to bottling.
