BrokenBonesPeatedSingleMaltWhisky(700mL)

<p>Notice: This edition uses the same source whisky as the Cask Strength release named <em>Best European Whisky</em> in Jim Murray’s <em>The Whisky Bible 2026</em>, but is bottled at a lower ABV (46% vs. 58%).</p><p><em>The first Slovenian Single Malt Whisky embodies the natural treasures of “the Green Gem of Europe”.</em></p><p>Why would you name your company <em>“Broken Bones</em>“? The distillery was founded in Slovenia by <em>Boštjan Marušič, Borut Osojnik, and Polona Preskar. </em>They hadn’t named their fledgling business yet and were filling barrels of Whisky for aging. Boštjan and Borut had both just come from the hospital because one had broken a leg and the other his nose. As they tell it, <em>the bones healed but the name stuck</em>. They produce a tidy range of five Gins and a couple of Whiskies using custom-made stills in<em> Ljubljana</em>, the capital of Slovenia.</p><p><em>Broken Bones Peated Whisky </em>combines local Slovenian influence with the Scottish tradition of Whisky-making to create a smooth, complex, and smoky addition to their repertoire. Made from the finest<em> peated barley,</em> exceptionally <em>pure Slovenian water</em>, several types of specially-selected yeast to ensure high flavor production, the wash is slowly <em>double-distilled</em> for a distinctively full flavor. Adding to the complex cocktail of local flavors is the maturation that takes place in a combination of barrels made from <em>local Slovenian oak </em>and <em>American white oak Bourbon barrels, </em>the latter having held the peatiest Islay Scotch before. Oh, and if you think the local flair ends here: the warehouses where their Whisky matures are surrounded by untouched forest, thus letting it breathe only the cleanest, purest air.</p><p>Non chill-filtered, no added color, and produced in small batches, it embodies the natural treasures of Slovenia, “the Green Gem of Europe”.</p>
