In 2008 Pernod Ricard bought Absolut from the Swedish state, and it wasn’t cheap, this transaction cost them €5.63 billion. 

After Smirnoff and Bacardi Absolut is one of the biggest brands that you can find in 126 countries. 

As we know previously, gin was dominating the market for some time and then this other transparent alcoholic liquid appeared. 

In the United States, Absolut became really popular firstly among the creative community. 

Now sit back and enjoy the next days full of vodka and flavoured vodka cocktails!
