Domaine Select acquires rum brand Atlántico
Atlántico was co-founded by Aleco Azqueta and Brandon Lieb in 2008. Its three lines of rum - Platino, Reserva and Gran Reserva - are sold throughout the US and in several international markets.
“This is an incredible day for Atlántico Rum. Our goal has always been to introduce unique, well made products that allow people to see rum in a different light,” said Lieb.
“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.”
Domaine Select is a US importer of craft wine and spirits and has been operating since 1999. It will take over “the day-to-day sales, marketing and operations associated with the importation/exportation” of Atlántico rum, according to the company.
“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.”
