The combination of donuts, ice cream, and Kahlua may be a little sweet for most tastes, but Allied Domecq banks on it. The company is the world's #2 distiller, after Diageo. Its spirits and wines unit produces a number of brands at or near the top of their respective categories, including Ballantine's scotch, Beefeater gin, Kahlua liqueur, Sauza tequila, Canadian Club whiskey, and Courvoisier cognac. It has introduced several new products, including WET, which extends the Beefeater brand of gin. The company also has licensed the use of the Kahlua name in a line of nonalcoholic syrups. The firm has distilleries in Europe and North America. Allied was acquired by Pernod Ricard in 2005.
