Pernod Ricard Buys Minority Stake in Non-Alcoholic Brand Almave

By Pierre Bertrand

 

Pernod Ricard said it has bought a minority stake in non-alcoholic spirit brand, Almave.

The French distiller said Almave is a blue agave-based spirit brand founded by British Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, Mexico-based incubator Casa Lumbre and advisory and investment firm Copper.

Pernod added that agave-based drinks were highly sought after and that the purchase allows the company--which houses brands such as Absolut vodka and Ballantine's whisky--to cater to a growing trend for non-alcoholic products.

Pernod didn't disclose financial details of the purchase.
