Swift & Moore Beverages has announced a new strategic partnership with Sydney-based Otter Craft Distilling (OCD), in a move set to strengthen its premium spirits portfolio and expand OCD’s distribution reach across Australia and international markets.
Effective immediately, Swift & Moore will take on national distribution of OCD’s award-winning range of artisan vodkas, gins, and whiskies. As part of the agreement, production of Swift & Moore’s own range of spirits and other beverages will move to OCD’s facilities, enhancing collaboration between the two businesses across production, packaging, marketing, and distribution.
Swift & Moore CEO Michael McShane said: “We are thrilled to welcome Otter Craft Distilling to the Swift & Moore portfolio. OCD embodies the creativity and quality that consumers are increasingly seeking in craft spirits.
“This partnership allows us to bring their remarkable products to a wider audience and continue driving growth and personalisation in the premium spirits category.”
The partnership combines Swift & Moore’s established national network of trade and retail partners with OCD’s expertise in independently distilled, small-batch spirits. It aims to deliver a more flexible and tailored approach to meeting the growing demand for premium and craft-led products.
Founded on a commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability, OCD has built a strong reputation for creating distinctive spirits that reflect innovation, authenticity, and a deep respect for process.
OCD Co-Founders Eduard and Julie Otter said: “From the beginning OCD’s vision has been to create a locally distilled premium spirits brand, that is relevant locally and globally and sits equally amongst the world’s best and most like-minded spirits.
“Our exciting partnership with Swift & Moore allows us to share our brand with an incredible audience, while staying true to the core principles of OCD and reflecting our shared commitment to building long-term, sustainable relationships.”
Under the agreement, Swift & Moore will manage the distribution of OCD’s full product line, including its signature OCD Single Malt Whiskeys, OCD Vodkas, and Mary St Gin and Gin Liqueurs.
