Ep. 81: Talnua Distillery with Founders Patrick and Meagan Miller

Talnua Distillery in Colorado is quietly putting out some excellent single pot still whiskey in the Irish style. They follow the Irish Technical Files as far as possible, with only the "made in Ireland using Irish water" regulation unfulfilled. 

Founders Patrick and Meagan Miller discovered the Irish single pot still style on their honeymoon when, by chance, they were in Ireland when the first Redbreast Cask Strength in decades came to the market. Just a few years later, thousands of miles away, they'd found Talnua and dedicate it solely to that style - the single distillery making only that style in the US. There are other distilleries making single pot still whiskey, just none that are doing that and that alone. 

Talnua was generous enough to send a full lineup of their products for review, all of which are linked below. The big one? Their 2023 Olde Saint's Keep release. It went live for pre-sale on March 14th - if there are still some left, grab them before they're gone. You won't regret it.
