CHICAGO, April 20, 2023 - Broken Shed Vodka, New Zealand's award-winning, premium vodka and the fastest growing vodka brand in the U.S. for two consecutive years, has officially been named a "2023 Rising Star" in the Growth Brand category of this year's Beverage Dynamics Awards. Beverage Dynamics is the largest and most respected national magazine dedicated to the needs of the off-premise beverage alcohol retailer.
"We are thrilled to be recognized with the 2023 Rising Star Award by Beverage Dynamics," said Jean-Marie Heins, chief marketing officer of Broken Shed Vodka. "Our team has worked tirelessly to create a high-quality product and build a strong brand that resonates with consumers. This award is a clear indicator of how many people are craving sustainable ingredients and naturally delicious flavors for their cocktails, as well as a testament to our commitment to excellence."
"Beverage Dynamics is proud to recognize Broken Shed Vodka as a 2023 Rising Star Award recipient," said Kyle Swartz, editor of Beverage Dynamics. "The brand's commitment to quality, innovation and sustainability has propelled it to the forefront of the spirits industry, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for Broken Shed Vodka."
To be eligible to win the Rising Star Award, the spirit brand must be less than five years old and have exhibited growth in each year of the brand's lifetime, reaching at least 20,000 9-liter cases in 2022. All awards are based on sales the prior calendar year.
Broken Shed Vodka experienced tremendous growth over the past two years, expanding distribution to 29 U.S. markets and earning numerous accolades and awards for both its quality and taste. With the planned addition of distribution to New York and South Carolina markets later this year, Broken Shed will be available in the top five vodka markets in the U.S. by the end of the year. Broken Shed Vodka's success in the U.S. last year is thanks in a large part to its hard-working sales and distribution team, as well as on-premise and off-premise displays, seasonal promotions, social media and our integrated advertising campaign.
