Parrot Bay Pineapple

Nose: Artificial pineapple, tangerine or generic tropical fruit essence. The smell of pineapple flavoured sweets or tropical scented body wash. Palate: Simple syrup, some chemical that tastes remotely like pineapple. Citrus flavoured cough lozenges. Finish: Blindingly short. Sugar and artificial flavouring. It appears that there are many Parrot Bay bottlings available in different parts of the globe. This review relates specifically to a pineapple flavoured “malt beverage” that is sold in Australia (and perhaps other areas). This is not Parrot Bay flavoured rum. It is something like a cross between flavoured vodka and flavoured moonshine. It is very sweet, low proof and is properly classified as a liqueur, not a spirit. It is not enjoyable. For more details about this range of Parrot Bay liqueurs that is exploiting the reputation (?) of Parrot Bay rum, see my review of Parrot Bay Coconut. “Poor” : 60/100 (1 star)
