Beverage distributor, Swift + Moore, has added syrups and purées from France’s 1883 range to complement its existing range of premium beverages.

1883’s products have been developed and refined over its 140 years of experience, perfected in the company’s Drink Designer Lab located at the heart of the French Alps. There, 1883’s master syrup-maker and experts in aromatic blending identify, define, and compose the most complex aromas and flavours based on texture, colour, taste, and smell, using both science and senses.

The Swift + Moore 1883 collection includes favourites such as banana and mango purées, coconut, watermelon, and lychee syrups, as well as traditional flavours like elderflower syrup and passion fruit (both syrup and purée). It also offers newer options like organic agave syrup, blueberry syrup, and green apple purée, alongside other authentic flavours.

Each flavour is crafted using water from the French Alps, cane sugar, and 55 per cent fruit for an authentic taste, aiming to balance sweetness and flavour.

The addition of 1883’s products to the Swift + Moore portfolio is due to the company’s recent range expansion, bringing in a variety of international brands to its in-house warehouse.

Swift + Moore CEO, Michael McShane, said in the current environment customer service must be at the forefront of everything the company does.

“We know many in the trade – retailers, restaurants, venues and wholesalers alike – are all being challenged by rising costs,” said McShane.

“In opening our own warehouse to supplement our longstanding existing logistics arrangements, Swift & Moore is able to increase the flexibility of delivery to our valuable customers.”
