Bacardi buys tequila maker Patron in $5.1bn deal
23 January 2018
Alcohol giant Bacardi has said it will buy tequila maker Patron, as demand grows for high-end versions of the spirit around the world.
Bacardi says the deal values Patron at about $5.1bn (£3.6bn).
Best known for its rum, Bacardi took a minority stake in the tequila firm a decade ago and the two companies have worked closely together since then.
Bacardi already owns the Cazadores and Corzo tequila brands and is the world's biggest privately-owned spirits firm.

It looks like the drinks were on the house.
I heard Patron was going to purchase the estate of Harper Lee to make Tequila Mockingbird.
