Enrique Iglesias Announces Partnership with ATLANTICO Rum

MIAMI, September 21, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

Multi-platinum recording artist Enrique Iglesias is partnering with
Miami-based ATLANTICO Rum. "I was introduced to ATLANTICO by friends in
Miami, quickly became a fan, and followed its development over the last
couple of years," says Iglesias. "I was recently introduced to its
co-founders, Brandon Lieb and Aleco Azqueta, and was immediately drawn to
their entrepreneurial spirit and passion for developing a world-class
product. I am now delighted to be a partner in this top-quality rum."

Launched in October 2008, ATLANTICO Rum quickly established itself in
the super-premium rum segment by winning several awards, including Best
Solera Rum at the 2010 UK Rumfest, the world's largest rum festival and
competition. Currently available in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador,
England, France, and the Czech Republic, as well as in the U.S., ATLANTICO
is poised for continued domestic and international expansion in 2011. "We
are thrilled to have Enrique as our partner. His hard work and determination
to succeed are characteristics we share, and we look forward to growing
ATLANTICO together," says Lieb.

The 2nd largest spirit category by volume in the U.S., rum's growth
continues to outpace that of other categories. "What's even more promising
is that while people have known and enjoyed quality scotches, Cognacs, and
bourbons for some time, they are just now starting to learn about and
appreciate hand-crafted rums," says Azqueta. "Not to mention that rum is a
sexy category," adds Iglesias. "It's all about escape: the islands, sun,
sand, water, relaxation. With ATLANTICO Rum's quality, there's an added
classic Caribbean sophistication that I really relate to."

A 700cl of ATLANTICO Rum retails for GBP 42 and is distributed by
Boutique Brands, +44-20-7371-2480, http://www.boutique-brands.com.
