I happened to know one of the judges so i was standing behind them and got to talking with one of the other judges who was the brand ambassador for Plantation here in Aus. I found out that there are two harvests a year of the Victorian pineapple that is used which yields approx. 20 tonnes of fruit which produces about 60,000 bottles of the rum annually. Of that, Australia receives 1,200 cases. Here's a pic of one of the 'garnishes' that was used, just because it's so awesome. (The drink itself was served in an old-fashioned glass that was placed in a recess that was cut out just behind the first sail. I couldn't get a photo of that because of the angle i was on).
