The story of Broken Heart Gin begins with two Germans living in New Zealand’s Southern Alps, Joerg was a pilot and Bernd an engineer. Both philosophers and committed Master Distillers, they formed their friendship around a still and a passion for perfecting spirits of rare complexity and fine flavours.
Broken Heart Gin 的故事在新西蘭南阿爾卑斯山脈下展開。 德裔飛機師Joerg及工程師Bernd熱愛烈酒，同樣秉持製造出具稀有味道及複雜性的完美烈酒的哲學理念。兩人一拍即合，蒸餾器譜出一段刻骨銘心的友情。
Those were the glory days and nothing captured the flavour of that time better than the inspiration Bernd and Joerg shared to create a superb gin – an intricate balance of eleven botanicals and surprisingly good with a twist of orange. It became a ritual, one a day at dusk, as day tuned to night, the taste of the time of in-between.
But life is no straight line. Bernd fell gravely ill, fought bravely, then sadly died. Where once had been a life that felt like it would go on forever, now were broken hearts.
他倆互相激發靈感，交織出的超卓成果─能精彩地平衡11種草本風味配上合拍的橙皮味的氈酒。成就輝煌，歲月是不可被取替。它似是固有軌跡，劃過日子的紅霞，時光搖曳的韻味。
好景不常。Bernd的病日益嚴重，雖勇敢抗病，終究不敵死神。曾並肩憧憬的永恆，如今只剩一人欲斷腸。
As Joerg travelled down the healing road, he realised that as much as a broken heart hurts, it’s also a space to be filled with new beginnings. Like a gin at dusk, a moment of in-between. And so he decided to share the superb gin with the world and to call it Broken Heart for him.
在Joerg自癒的旅途上，他領略到心碎遍地，刮出痛亦破了空，破出了新開始。像是紅霞的氈酒，搖曳出時光的韻味。最後決定以 “Broken Heart”為名，帶他們超卓的氈酒走向世界，紀念逝去的摰友。
