Broken Bones Twis Whisky 2024 100 ml
When Borut called Boštjan in 2012 and suggested that they join forces and make Slovenian whiskey that can compete with the best Scotch whiskies, they had a long road ahead of education, research, experimentation and development. First they decided on the style of whisky, designed and made the pot still themselves, chose malt, yeast, size and type of barrels ... Then came the period of aging in various combinations of Slovenian and American barrels, with tasting and developing the drink. That is how the first Slovenian single malt whisky was born.
On 13 July 2016, during the distillation of whiskey, they made sure that our distillery got its name, as Boštjan broke his leg, and Borut broke his nose a few days later. It took another year, however, for the plan to make the whiskey they wanted to be perfect!

Tasting notes:
The nose opens with light and delicate barley notes, followed by newly cut grass, dandelion and other yellow flowers, then baked rhubarb tart, beetroot, parsnip. On the palate, gentle sugars are on the forefront with spicy caramel that lead into honey, toffee apple and nougat, with hints of tobacco, liquorice, and corn syrup, before a grittier spices emerge - clove, caraway, and pepper. The finish is long, with restrained oak and lingering notes of stout, coffee, and maple syrup.
