The story of Santos Dumont

A special man lived in Brazil at the end of the 19th century: Santos Dumont. He was the son of the Frenchman Henri Dumont, who owned the large coffee and sugar cane plantation called Cabangu in the state of Minas Gerias.
Santos Dumont spent his childhood surrounded by coffee, sugar cane, from which rum and cachaça were distilled, and the latest inventions to optimise production on the plantation. He was fascinated by the farm's machinery from an early age. He often travelled with the farm's own steam tractor or steam locomotive. He was also a big fan of Jules Verne, which awakened his enthusiasm for flying. Even before his tenth
birthday, he had read all of his books. During one of the long sunny afternoons on the plantation, he began to write his autobiography about the dream of flying that had also reached him.
Santos Dumont left Brazil to go to Paris. There he pursued his great passion, flying. He built his first own zeppelin, with which he won the "Deutsch de la Meurthe" prize in 1901. He was the first person to circle the Eiffel Tower in a zeppelin. He donated his winnings, 100,000 francs, to the poorest people in Paris.
This made him a famous and highly respected man. Santos Dumont is also known for having commissioned his good friend Louis Cartier to create the world's first wristwatch. He asked Cartier to design a watch that would allow him to tell the time while having both hands on the controls while flying. Santos died on 23 July 1932 at the age of just 59.
The Santos Dumont rum was created in honour of this world-famous aviation pioneer, nobleman and style icon.

Our Santos Dumont product recommendations

Santos Dumont XO

This limited-edition super premium rum is made from 100% pure, freshly pressed sugar cane juice. Before bottling the Santos Dumont X.O. Rum undergoes a unique triple cask maturation in old bourbon barrels, P.X. Sherry casks and port wine casks.
Each cask used is selected by the master distiller. Each barrel used is selected by the Master Distiller and it is up to the highly knowledgeable and experienced Master Blender to blend the contents of the three different barrels into a magical blend.
The rum then rests for the final time in a single, hand-picked barrel, where it develops its very special single-barrel character.
All Santos Dumont rums are single casks. The rum is bottled by hand in limited editions and the barrels and bottles are individually numbered. The result is a deep amber-coloured rum with a pleasant viscosity and a buttery
feel on the tongue. The flavour ends with a velvety smooth and delicately sweet aftertaste with notes of vanilla and coconut.

Santos Dumont XO Elixir

Brazil was the world's first producer of sugar cane juice. Nowadays, there are a large number of rums based on Brazilian molasses. But Elixir Santos Dumont is something special. The rum is not created on the basis of Brazilian molasses, but on the basis of Santos Dumont XO.
Local herbs and a precisely estimated amount of fresh sugar cane honey are added to the Santos Dumont XO.
A magical liqueur that shines like a diamond in the glass when poured over ice. Santos Dumont Elixir is a charming liqueur with a defining sweetness. With its flavour, it captures all those who love a drink that shows an exact balance between warm alcohol and sweetness.
