About Monarq

Monarq Group owner Robert de Monchy said: “We are proud to welcome ultra-premium Atlantico Rum. Our portfolio of premium alcoholic beverages did not yet include a rum brand and we have been waiting patiently for the exact right proposition to come along. The great popularity of Enrique Iglesias, the world’s best known Latin artist, obviously is a huge advantage when rolling out Atlantico rum in the Americas”.

Atlantico Rum co-founder Aleco Azqueta, added: “I strongly believe this is the perfect partner for us in this region. Monarq and we share the same vision on how to build ultra-premium brands. We are looking forward to start working together and create a great success in partnership.”


Monarq B.V. was established in 2006 by Robert de Monchy, former General Manager of Rémy Caribbean & Latin America as a regional distribution and brand building company for the Americas (excluding US and Canada domestic markets).

Besides the newly added Atlantico rum, Monarq represents and manages a portfolio of premium beverages such as Heineken, Bols, Galliano, Molinari, Norton, Voga, Taittinger, Cachaca 51, La Fée, Crystal Head Vodka, Zubrowka, Disaronno and Tia Maria.
