About

Award-winning New Zealand distillery crafting premium vodka, gin, and rum from local ingredients in Papamoa, Bay of Plenty.

Armada Spirits is a proudly New Zealand-owned distillery based in Papamoa, Bay of Plenty, specialising in small-batch vodka, gin, and rum. With a commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients from across Aotearoa - and occasionally Australia when necessary - Armada Spirits blends craftsmanship with a fun, down-to-earth Kiwi attitude.

Their product line includes award-winning spirits such as their Premium Vodka, distilled from South Island grain and North Island water, and their citrus-forward Premium Dry Gin. Armada’s Millenhall Barrel Aged Rum is aged by the Papamoa coastline in re-charred New Zealand red wine barrels, delivering a uniquely smooth, sophisticated character.

Focused on quality and transparency, Armada uses copper column stills and distinct distillation methods to produce spirits that are fresh, clean and flavour-forward. Their playful brand voice and commitment to the long-haul ageing process reflect a passion for creating “damn good” spirits New Zealanders can be proud of.
