Rémy Cointreau: brands it owns and its ownership tree
Rémy Cointreau (EPA: RCO) is a publicly listed company headquartered in Cognac, France that owns 6 consumer brands, and has 2 recorded transactions.[1]
Rémy Cointreau was formed in 1990 by the merger of the Rémy Martin cognac house, founded 1724, with the Cointreau liqueur business, and the two founding families still control it. It has deliberately narrowed its portfolio to expensive spirits, selling off cheaper brands to concentrate on margin.
Remy Cointreau completed its purchase of Westland Distillery in Seattle on 6 January 2017, the day after closing on Domaine des Hautes Glaces in the French Alps. Two single malt distilleries in two days, on two continents, neither of them Scottish: the group was buying into the idea that single malt whisky is defined by method and terroir rather than by geography. The price was not disclosed.
Remy Cointreau bought the Bruichladdich distillery on Islay, its first move into single malt Scotch and the start of a run of whisky acquisitions that continued with Domaine des Hautes Glaces and Westland in 2017. The Botanist gin came with it: the distillery makes it on the same site, in a repurposed Lomond still. Remy Cointreau has not published the price.
