The winner: Plantation Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple Rum
Plantation Stiggins' Fancy Pineapple takes it: critics rate it noticeably higher than El Dorado 12, the crowds call it a wash, and it's usually the cheaper bottle too. El Dorado 12 still has a case for demerara purists, but you're paying more for less enthusiasm.

El Dorado 12 typically runs several dollars more per bottle than the pineapple Plantation, and the price gap isn't buying you a better critic score, just more shelf presence. If you want a rum to sip slow and neat, El Dorado's caramel and dried-fruit profile is the more traditional choice, but go in knowing critics rank it below the pack. For mixing, flavoring cocktails, or just a rum that overdelivers for the price, the pineapple Plantation is the smarter buy.
