And if you’re wondering where the unusual name comes from, co-founders Boštjan Marušič and Borut Osojnik explain that it came from a confluence of accidents: “When Borut called Boštjan in 2012 and suggested that they join forces and make Slovenian whiskey that can compete with the best Scotch whiskies, they had a long road ahead of education, research, experimentation and development. First they decided on the style of whisky, designed and made the pot still themselves, chose malt, yeast, size and type of barrels … Then came the period of aging in various combinations of Slovenian and American barrels, with tasting and developing the drink.

“On 13 July 2016, during the distillation of whiskey, they made sure that our distillery got its name, as Boštjan broke his leg, and Borut broke his nose a few days later. It took another year, however, for the plan to make the whiskey they wanted to be perfect!”
