History
It began in 1897 when the Brazilian Alberto Santos Dumont (born in 1873) was a world-renowned aviation pioneer, nobleman, and icon of style. He was the heir of a wealthy plantation dynasty. Rum and cachaça were distilled from sugar cane grown in the family plantation. Today, Santos Dumont is created from fresh Brazilian sugar cane juice blended with molasses-based rum from West Indies and Central America. Santos Dumont chooses, like few others, to blend the two types of rum in a way that can only be described as Santos Dumont. Using his accomplishments as an inspiration we are pushing the boundaries for excellent craftsmanship in every in every bottle of Santos Dumont.
