Each year the industry bodies Distilled Spirits Aotearoa and Spirits New Zealand jointly host the New Zealand Spirits Awards.
The New Zealand Spirits Awards are a celebration of New Zealand and internationally available spirits.
Our aim
The aim of the Awards is to acknowledge and reward the very best of spirits available in New Zealand and through this promote the brands and categories to consumers and trade. The Awards will judge the very best in local and internationally available spirits within seven categories.
Entries must be a commercially available product, on the market in New Zealand.
Members of Distilled Spirits Aotearoa receive significant discounts on their entry fees.
Join the NZ Spirits Awards mailing list to get alerts for the key dates for the 2023 Spirits Awards.
