Pernod Ricard ( French pronunciation: [pɛʁno ʁikaʁ] ) is a French company best known for its anise -flavoured pastis apéritifs Pernod Anise and Ricard Pastis (often referred to simply as Pernod or Ricard ). The world's second-largest wine and spirits seller, [2] it also produces several other types of pastis.
History
After the banning of absinthe , Pernod Ricard was created from the Pernod Fils company, which had produced absinthe. Pernod Ricard owned the distilled beverage division of the former corporation Seagram (including brands like Chivas Regal ) until 2006, along with many other holdings. In 2005, the company acquired a British-based competitor, Allied Domecq PLC .
In 2008, Pernod Ricard announced its acquisition of Swedish-based V&S Group , which produces Absolut Vodka . In 2013, Pernod Ricard joined leading alcohol producers as part of a producers' commitments to reducing harmful drinking. [3]
In December 2018, Elliott Management Corporation purchased a 2.5% stake in Pernod Ricard. [4] In December 2022, Pernot Ricard announced plans to open a US$250 million carbon-neutral whiskey distillery in Marion County, Kentucky in 2025. [5]
According to the Anti-Corrida Alliance , Pernod Ricard was the major funder of bullfighting in France, [6] [7] financing bullfighting clubs and sponsoring corridas despite the opposition of a majority of French citizens to blood sports . In 2020, Pernod Ricard ended the association with bullfighting clubs. [8] In 2023, Pernod Ricard decided to resume limited exports of Beefeater Gin and Jameson Irish Whiskey to Russia. [9] [10]
