CACHAÇA SANTOS DUMONT EDIÇÃO LEGIÃO DE HONRA EXTRA PREMIUM SINGLE BARREL AMERICAN OAK

There are two different companies that produce and market distilled spirits under the same name, Santos Dumont, which can cause confusion because they share the same name. The first company is based in Scotland and specializes in rum. The second company is located in Brazil and focuses on cachaça. Unfortunately, there is not much information about this cachaça on the internet. The owners of the brand have a company in the city of Teodoro Sampaio, state of São Paulo, but they sought out the still in the city of Dracena, state of São Paulo, to produce their cachaça. This still makes other brands of cachaça such as Vitória, Catarina and Middas (a cachaça with gold flakes). The name Santos Dumont refers to the Brazilian who invented the real airplane in the world even before the Wright brothers (in 1903, the Wright brothers used a catapult to make their prototype airplane glide for a few seconds and the 14 BIS, an airplane invented by the Brazilian Santos Dumont, had an engine and took off alone in Paris in 1906 by its own means without a catapult, and this flight is still a world record). This edition of Santos Dumont cachaça called Cavaleiro da Legiona de Honra also pays another tribute (to Henri Gifard, creator of the airship) and ages exactly 44 months and 7 days in American oak barrels that reduce acidity, making the distillate smooth, complex and with a pleasant sweetness. Classified as Extra-Premium (cachaças aged in wooden barrels for 3 years or more) it has 42% alcohol that does not appear, as it is integrated. It is a special series cachaça with only 230 numbered bottles. There is also a Rum with the same name (Santos Dumont), so be careful not to confuse them, as they are completely different products. a Source Cachaça Santos Dumont Instagram.
