Product description
Santos Dumont spirits were named in memory of the famous celebrity, style icon and aviation pioneer Alberto Santos Dumont, who was famous at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Santos Dupont XO Palmira is a blended rum and Brazilian cachaça. The rums used to blend Santos Dupont are molasses-based spirits produced in the West Indies and Central America.

The name of this edition, Palmira, is the original name of the town where Alberto Santos Dumont was born, which was renamed Santos Dumont after his death.
