A modern tasting room with a copper distillation still in the foreground reveals the story of boutique spirits production.

Ginarnica – Blacksmith Distillery

Blacksmith distillery resides in the same building as the Murko inn, where the story has been written since 1903. The legend of juniper gave birth to AP gin, while the Koroška hills inspired Planinkovec – a sweet wormwood liqueur with the soul of local mountains. Today, Anže and Lucija continue this story.
