The island2island Beverage Company, affectionately known within the industry as i2i, is one of only a handful of truly independent, Australian-owned premium spirits and CSD distributors left in this country.

Originally formed by industry veteran, Les Page, in 2007 to act as the exclusive importing, sales, marketing and distribution agency for the world renowned and iconic Angostura aromatic bitters, island2island now boasts an exceptional and enviable portfolio of quality, premium spirits and beers.

In an age where more and more brands own their distribution channels, island2island is passionate about fighting for quality spirit brands to ensure that consumers continue to have access to alternative choices in a wide range of places.

The cornerstone of the business is the ubiquitous Angostura aromatic bitters. Since the partnership with Angostura began back in 2007, each year island2island has managed to grow the overall usage of Angostura aromatic bitters and in particular the iconic Lemon Lime & Bitters beverage.

New to the Angostura portfolio is the much-anticipated Amaro di Angostura, winner of the 9th Annual Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards in the “Best New Spirit or Cocktail Ingredient” category, which has now arrived in Australia. This is the first time in the history of the House of Angostura that the company has entered an entirely new category of spirits.

And the Angostura Caribbean Rum range is gaining favour with consumers and the trade alike. This is being driven by a greater appreciation and demand for quality, premium rum. The Trinidad based Angostura Distillery has been awarded the title of Rum Grand Master at the Spirits Masters Awards four years in a row.

Amarula Cream Liqueur is the second largest cream liqueur in the world and i2i handles its distribution in Australia. It is made from real marula fruit, which can only be found in the wide-open plains of Africa. This is what gives Amarula its undeniable exotic taste.

Stolichnaya Premium Vodka is one of the fastest growing vodkas in Australia, returning to its rightful place among the top five vodkas in Australia. Innovative promotions and a rekindling of the love affair Australian consumers have with ‘Stoli’ from past years has delivered consistent double-digit growth, with no signs of slowing down.

In October 2015, the company was awarded the impressive Jose Cuervo International and Proximo Spirits portfolios, which include Jose Cuervo and 1800 Tequilas, The Kraken Black Spiced Rum, Bushmills Irish Whiskey and Boodles Gin.

With a portfolio that also includes a range of outstanding single malt Scotch whiskies, Broker’s Gin, Writers Tears Irish Whiskey, San Miguel and HINE Cognac, premium quality, exceptional service, awards, industry recognition and unique benefits are what set the island2island Beverage Company apart.
