Broken Bones is a Slovenian craft distillery that grew out of a family tradition of producing beer, wine, and spirits. The team at Broken Bones includes an element of Slovenia in all of its products, with a range of gins that include botanicals picked in the Slovenian Karst region, and whiskies aged in Slovenian oak barrels.
The name Broken Bones presented itself in July 2016, while founders Boštjan Marušič and Borut Osojnik were busy filling their first whisky barrels. Both suffered accidents that saw them requiring hospital treatment – one broken leg and one broken nose! Barrels can be dangerous things it turns out. Fortunately, neither break was too bad, and as a silver lining, the team had chanced upon a name for their distillery.
