Broken Bones Ljubljana Dragon Gin

A fire-breathing dragon? While this Gin's ginger addition brings some heat, it's just the right amount to leave its balance intact.

Why would you name your company "Broken Bones"? The distillery was founded in Slovenia by Boštjan Marušič, Borut Osojnik, and Polona Preskar. They hadn’t named their fledgling business yet and were filling barrels of Whisky for aging. Boštjan and Borut had both just come from the hospital because one had broken a leg and the other his nose. As they tell it, the bones healed but the name stuck. They produce a tidy range of five Gins and a couple of Whiskies using custom-made stills in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.

The green dragon is the symbol of Ljubljana, featured on its Coat of Arms. This Gin pays tribute to its home town with a touch of fiery ginger heat. Fueling it all is the same award-winning London Dry Gin that has brought these guys several awards. No need to worry, though. Despite all the fire-breathing imagery, it's an exceptionally well-balanced Spirit with that beautiful juniper-forward and floral base shining just as bright. And just like its brethren, this Gin has plenty of awards to show for it.
