Wine & Spirits, the craft wine and spirits importer, announces it has
assumed worldwide management of Atlántico Rum. Atlántico, launched in 2008, is
an award-winning line of super-premium rums made in the Dominican Republic. As
part of the deal, Domaine Select has taken over the day-to-day sales, marketing
and operations associated with the importation and exportation of the brand
from Atlántico Rum co-founders, Aleco Azqueta and Brandon Lieb.
“We are strong
believers in the super-premium rum category and have been closely following the
success of Atlántico for some time,” said Paolo Domeneghetti, Domaine Select’s
founder. “We are thrilled to bring on Atlántico as it fits beautifully within
our portfolio of craft spirits, and we are excited to begin working with Atlántico’s
international distribution network.” “This
is an incredible day for Atlántico Rum,” said Brandon Lieb. “Our goal has
always been to introduce unique, well made products that allow people to see
rum in a different light. Domaine Select shares our vision for the brand and is
the ideal company to take it to new heights. We couldn’t be more excited to see
Atlántico continue to develop under their guidance.”
