Dating back to the late 1970’s, Blisk was bred in its native Zalec region of Slovenia, along with Bobek and Buket in an attempt to instil both high alpha content and pleasant aroma in one cultivar. It is a cross between Atlas and a male varietal from the former Yugoslavia. Despite its decent yield, Blisk is not being commercially produced.
