SLOVENIA

In the Alpine shadow, Slovenia’s heritage of žganje meets a young vodka avant‑garde. Winter wheat, buckwheat or a neutral base spirit is fermented cleanly and pushed through column stills or copper pot‑still rectification until a crystal‑clear neutral alcohol is achieved; mountain water and careful carbon treatment finish the structure. Filtration can run through charcoal made from spent whisky barrels, binding trace impurities while smoothing texture. In Ljubljana, Broken Bones has become a modern flag‑bearer, proving how precise blending and contemporary distillation can deliver an international style without denying its mountain origins.
