<p>Broken Bones’ take on Sloe Gin is intense with less sugar and higher ABV.</p><p>Why would you name your company <em>“Broken Bones”?</em> The distillery was founded in Slovenia by <em>Boštjan Marušič, Borut Osojnik, </em>and <em>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, the bones healed but the name stuck. They produce a <em>tidy range of five Gins and a couple of Whiskies</em> using custom-made stills in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.</p><p>The award-winning Broken Bones London Dry Gin is utterly delicious and a great base for many of their other Gins, including the <em>Sloe Gin. </em>Sloe berries are infused in the Gin for<em> 6 months </em>before sugar is added, bringing out the sweet aromas of ripe plums and nutty marzipan notes. With less sugar and higher alcohol content that clocks in at<em> 66 proof,</em> it’s an intense and different take on the style ― but a welcome one.</p>
