Santos Dumont

This excellent rum is named in honor of Albert Santos Dumont (1873-1932). He was a world-famous pioneer in the field of aviation, a noble man, an icon of personality and style. He was the heir of a wealthy family. His father, originally from the French, was the king of coffee and sugar cane production in Brazil. They have used various inventions to increase the efficiency of production on plantations. Santos developed the first motor plane, and a wristwatch is attributed to him when he asked Louis Cartier to make custom-made watches that he did not have to hold in his hands, as this prevented him from piloting the plane.

Today, Santos Dumont belongs to A.H. Riise and enjoys worldwide success. The secret of their rum lies in a great mixture of 100 % virgin sugar cane, which matures in barrels after burbon and sherry Pedro Ximenéz.
