About

Award-winning Queenstown distillery crafting artisan gin, rum, vodka, liqueurs, and single malt whisky inspired by heart, heritage and alpine purity.

Broken Heart Spirits is a boutique distillery based in Queenstown, New Zealand, producing a wide portfolio of premium spirits including gin, vodka, rum, whisky, and seasonal liqueurs. The brand was founded by two German friends and master distillers who sought to create spirits that honoured life’s bittersweet moments, following the passing of one co-founder – hence the name, “Broken Heart.”

Using pure alpine water from the Southern Alps and carefully selected botanicals, Broken Heart’s spirits are handcrafted in small batches with an emphasis on flavour clarity, balance, and emotional storytelling. Their flagship gin has become one of New Zealand’s most recognised exports, and the distillery has since expanded to include innovative flavoured gins, eco refills, and a growing range of aged and limited-release spirits.

Broken Heart Spirits has won multiple international and domestic awards and continues to push boundaries in flavour, sustainability, and heartfelt craftsmanship. The brand’s commitment to quality and authenticity is reflected across its entire range.
