Broken Bones Kika Peated Whisky
- Full, pleasantly smoked whisky with floral and vanilla notes and a touch of fresh fruit and herbs.
- Broken Bones Peated Single Malt Whisky is made from smoked barley malt, dried by burning peat, selected yeasts and water. After fermentation and distillation, which are very similar to the production of our Twis 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.

Description
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 fermentation and distillation, which are very similar to the production of our Twis 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.
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.

Broken Bones About Whisky
How our whisky is made - from grain and fermentation to distillation and aging in a unique combination of Slovenian oak and bourbon barrels.
Milling and MashinG
We source all our malt from nearby regional producers and omplete the entire spirit-making process in our distillery. We begin by milling the malt, then mash it in stainless-steel mash tun, adding water at the optimal temperature to draw out the sugars. Water quality is essential: Slovenia’s alpine-pure water, with its distinctive mineral profile, supports longer wort fermentation, adding freshness and body to the whisky’s flavour.
Fermentation
The liquid wort from the mash tun is cooled and pumped into the washback. We add several types of yeast to ensure high flavour production fermentation. Along with maturation in selected barrels and the controlled distillation process, the richness of the flavours in our whisky comes from the long and carefully controlled fermentation cycle. The selection of the yeast and the temperature and duration of the process, which create our fruity, full-bodied, complex and elegant whisky, were refined through extensive experimentation. Our fermentation cycles last over 110 hours, which is considerably longer than the average of other producers. When the fermentation is completed our wash contains 8 % alcohol.
Distillation
After fermentation wash is slowly distilled by our distillery team in a controlled process of double pot distillation. The unique whisky we were after required equipment not easily available on the market, so we built our copper pot stills from scratch. During our testing period we also adopted a certain distillation protocol that we believe is essential for our full bodied yet elegant style of whisky, so everything is distilled strictly according to that procedure.We currently have two styles - a classic fruity (Twis) and a peaty (Kika) Single Malt Broken Bones Whisky. Beside that we are also making a blended whisky that combines our classic whisky and a carefully selected grain whisky.
Maturation
The combination of different oak barrels gives our distillate a distinctive and well-developed flavour, even during the early stages of maturation.Before filling the barrels, we dilute our new make spirit with purified water to 63% alcohol, arguably the optimal strength for maturation in wooden barrels. Here we should mention that over time a small amount of whisky evaporates from the barrels; the process distillers rather poetically refer to as 'the angels' share'.
Our whisky’s unique flavour also comes from the Slovenian sessile oak in which the spirit matures. These impart the desired full-bodied taste, with dominant fruity and floral notes. Prior to first use for the whiskies, Slovenian oak barrels host our wine brandy. For a more complex and elegant flavour, maturation also takes place in American white oak bourbon barrels. Our peated expression is made from peated malt and finished in barrels that previously contained the peatiest Scotch whisky from Islay for added punch.
While our whisky is maturing we provide the opportunity for you to taste the magic of the progress from new make spirit through to maturation in barrels of various types with our sample packs.
