Description
What do a comedian, a banker, and a master distiller have in common? Nope, not the start of a joke. (Okay, maybe just a little.)
What we really share is a love for three things: good times, gut-busting laughter, and seriously great single malt whiskey.
So we did what any reasonable people would do - teamed up and made our own whisky.
Introducing: Funny Bones Whiskey.
But behind every good joke there is a serious craft. Funny Bones begins life as Broken Bones Unpeated Twis Single Malt Whisky - distilled at Broken Bones distillery, using the same uncompromising standards that earned the distillery the title of Best Continental European Whisky in The Whisky Bible 2025/26.
What makes Funny Bones truly unique is its maturation journey. After initial maturation, the spirit spends more than a year in casks that previously held Broken Bones Rum - Slovenia's first rum. It begins in ex-bourbon barrels, where it absorbs the classic notes of vanilla, caramel and toasted oak that define great American whisky tradition. The journey then culminates in Slovenian oak casks, which previously held Broken Bones Rum, lending the spirit its final character: a rich layer of tropical sweetness, molasses and the distinct personality of Slovenia's native oak.
The result is a whisky that tells the story of two spirits, and two proud traditions, in one glass. And of three unlikely friends who refused to take themselves too seriously.
The journey took the spirit through four distinctive casks, each leaving its own indelible mark. Yet what you hold in your hands is something truly rare: a single cask whisky, with only 250 bottles ever filled. No two batches will ever be the same, and once these bottles are gone, this particular story ends forever. You are not simply holding a whisky. You could be holding one of only 250 chapters of a tale that will never be told again.
Taste this unique cooperation between comedian Martina Ipša and Broken Bones distillery.
Tasting notes:
NOSE
A rich introduction in the glass reveals deep vanilla and caramel, interwoven with molasses - a legacy of the rum casks that lent the whisky their tropical soul. Dried raisins and toasted nuts follow, carrying a pleasant earthy warmth. In the background, dark berries emerge - blackberries and blackcurrant - with an additional freshness of discreet citrus acidity. Hints of roasted coffee and dark chocolate complete the depth, heralding the complexity that follows.
PALATE
On the palate, a surprising freshness of ripe apples appears first, balancing the richness that follows. Dark chocolate with a high cocoa content soon takes centre stage - smooth and rounded, interwoven with deep vanilla and molasses. The rum casks have lent the palate exceptional softness and roundness. Each sip develops slowly, revealing new layers.
FINISH
Long and elegant. Molasses returns as a recurring thread, long preserving the memory of the rum that once resided in these casks. Pomegranate joins in with its unique combination of sweetness and tartness. Aromatic spices — a hint of cardamom and dried ginger — lend the finish an exotic dimension. Vanilla gently rounds everything together, ensuring you set down the glass with a smile and a desire for the next sip.

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.
