TPG toasts exit of Myanmar whisky distillery

The US private equity firm has made a spirited job of its investment in a Yangoon-based, making a clean and profitable sale of the whisky brand to ThaiBev. A fillip for its fund-raising drive.

TPG said on Friday it has sold its stake in the Myanmar Distillery Company (MDC) to Asia spirits group Thai Beverage for $494.4 million, a home run on its investment at a time when it is raising capital for its next string of deals in the region.
