First Impressions
Broken Bones is a Slovenian craft gin from Ljubljana, using selected juniper and rosehip from the Karst region alongside linden tree flowers — an especially Slovenian botanical that adds distinctive floral-honey character. The distillery has become a popular destination for intimate gin tastings.
Tasting
The nose opens with piney juniper freshness and citrus, quickly followed by floral linden and sweet honey aromas. On the palate, a London Dry foundation with floral sweetness and spice — rosehip adding fruit depth, linden flowers providing Slovenian character. The finish is smooth and balanced.
The Bottom Line
Broken Bones earns a 7 for bringing Slovenian terroir to London Dry gin. The Karst juniper and linden flowers give it genuine Central European identity, and the rosehip adds a fruit dimension that complements rather than competes. A taste of Ljubljana's craft spirit scene.
