Bourbon Cask & Stave Series: Single Pot Still American Whiskey

The Artistry of Oak & Barley

Nestled within the vibrant tapestry of Arvada, a spirited alchemy unfolds at Talnua Distillery, where the ancient Gaelic craft meets the boundless spirit of Colorado. The Bourbon Cask & Stave Series represents a pioneering journey into the heart of American whiskey making, featuring a Single Pot Still American Whiskey that marries tradition with innovation.

At the core of Talnua Distillery's ethos is the revered Single Pot Still method— a testament to Gaelic distilling traditions. This method is characterized by:

• A harmonious blend of 50% unmalted and 50% malted barley.
• Triple distillation in copper pot stills to achieve a pure, refined spirit.

This whiskey greets the senses with vibrant floral notes, the freshness of new-mown hay, and the comforting sweetness of vanilla bean, standing as a testament to its 100-proof strength.

From Gaelic Shores to the Rocky Mountains

Talnua Distillery's journey is a heartfelt ode to heritage and innovation. The name 'Talnua'—a blend of the Irish-Gaelic words for 'Land' (Talamh) and 'New' (Nua)—echoes the founders' ambition to transplant an old-world distilling soul into the fertile ground of America. Symbolized by the majestic Big Horn Ram amidst Colorado's Front Range, Talnua's sigil and motto, Faugh a Ballagh ("Clear the Way"), encapsulate the pioneering spirit of this endeavor.

The inspiration for Talnua's founders, Patrick and Meagan, was kindled in a Galway pub, where the passion for Single Pot Still Whiskey was ignited. Their journey from enthusiasts to pioneers reflects a deep commitment to bringing this nearly lost art to American shores, infused with the unique character of Colorado's landscape.
