Cîroc is a French grape-based vodka produced by Diageo. In 2007, Diageo entered a profit-sharing partnership with Sean 'Puffy' Combs in which Combs would handle marketing in exchange for a share of profits — widely reported as among the most lucrative artist-brand spirits deals to that point. The Combs partnership ended in 2023 amid legal disputes.
