Spirits Platform has continued to expand its portfolio with the addition of Mozart Chocolate Liqueurs to its product range.
Spirits Platform will take over from Beam Suntory as the exclusive importer and distributor for Mozart’s Australian range, which includes Mozart Chocolate Cream, Mozart White Chocolate Vanilla Cream, Mozart Dark Chocolate and Mozart Chocolate Vodka.
Ian Atherton, CEO at Spirits Platform said: “Mozart’s passion and skill for creating premium chocolate liqueurs is exceptional and their reputation speaks for itself. Their range will make an impressive addition to Spirits Platform’s portfolio and we are delighted to have the opportunity to build their presence in Australia.”
Florian F. Iro, CEO of the Mozart Distillery added: “I would like to thank Beam Suntory and CCA for their support of Mozart during their short tenure with the brands.
“Mozart is much loved in the Australian market yet we know there are great opportunities to reach and resonate with new audiences.
“We look forward to working with Spirits Platform to further build awareness with both consumers and trade. Spirits Platform’s commitment and experience with supporting premium spirits brands gives us great confidence for Mozart’s future as we continue to introduce more consumers to the best chocolate liqueur in the world.”
Owned by Schlumberger Wein-und Sektkellerei GmbH, Mozart was the first company to succeed at distilling chocolate and all its liqueurs are manufactured from natural raw ingredients with no preservatives, artificial flavours or colouring.
