Broken Bones Peated Whisky Cask Strength 58 % (aged 4 years)
When Borut called Boštjan in 2012 and suggested that they make Slovenian whisky that could compete with the best Scotch whiskies, they had a long way to go in research, education, experimentation and improvement.
It took five years for the combination of malt, yeast, fermentation method, distillation and barrels to be selected. Then three years of careful care in barrels, so that on July 13, 2020 we could present you our first whisky, with a distinctive, floral and full taste - Broken Bones Single Malt Whisky.
As big fans of peated whiskies, in addition to our classic whisky, we also designed and developed a peated version of Broken Bones whisky.

Peated (smoked) Broken Bones whisky is complex, full bodied and has pleasantly smoked taste and aroma. It embodies the natural resources of Slovenia, the green jewel of Europe. Endless forests that offer typical oak wood for making barrels, clean water from beautiful mountains and fresh air.
Broken Bones Peated Single Malt Whisky is made from smoked barley malt, dried by burning peat, selected yeasts and water. After distillation, which is a little different from the production of classic whisky, it is carefully nurtured in a combination of Slovenian oak barrels and double-used American barrels, in which smoked Scotch whisky was also aged. Not cold filtered. No coloring added.
Broken Bones whisky is carefully produced in small batches, each of which is unique.
This is a single cask cask strength - it comes from one cask only and is not dilutted prior to bottling. This higher alcohol content carries more intense and concentrated flavours, offering a more robust and fuller experience compared to Broken Bones whisky diluted to 46% ABV you might have sipped already.
This 2025 cask strength release of Broken Bones Single Malt Peated Whisky is available in a very limited series.
Tasting notes:
The nose shows soft peat with hints of ginger and curry, alongside smoked almonds, putty, and rich pistachio cream. Delicate smoky phenols carry through onto the palate and, with time, reveal sweet barley, gentle tannins, and a biscuity framework. The long finish moves from smoky mocha, smoked almonds to green tea, soot, and demerara sugar notes, leaving a slightly salty aftertaste with touches of pear.

Whiskyfun: 87 points (batch 3/23): " I'll write it again, you would believe they've been churning out millions of litres of peated malt whisky for decades and decades, eventually reaching quasi-perfection."
