Suntori Whisky of Japam bought out Beam Inc. in a $16B deal. Wow.I never would have imagined Japanese whisky being popular enough to generate the capital for that kind of deal.
The whiskey division of Suntori, or the Suntori drinks company? Suntori not only is one of the largest distillers in Japan, but they also have huge market shares of wine, beer and soft drinks.
