American Single Pot Still Whiskey Enters a New Chapter with Talnua Distillery’s Bottled-in-Bond American White Oak Cask Whiskey
Press Release | Arvada, Colorado | October 29, 2025
Talnua Distillery, America’s pioneering single pot still whiskey producer, proudly announces the release of its American White Oak Cask Whiskey under the revered Bottled-in-Bond designation. This milestone not only marks a bold new chapter in the Talnua story, but also deepens its commitment to crafting heritage-inspired spirits that honor both American and Irish whiskey traditions.
The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 remains one of the most respected standards in American whiskey. To earn this designation, a whiskey must be the product of one distillation season, one distiller, and one distillery, aged for a minimum of four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). Talnua’s achievement of this distinction underscores the distillery’s dedication to quality, transparency, and time-honored craftsmanship.
“This release is not just about meeting a regulation — it’s about celebrating the patience, integrity, and artistry that define great whiskey,” said Patrick Miller, Master Distiller and Co-Founder of Talnua Distillery. “Bringing Bottled-in-Bond to our American Single Pot Still whiskey is a moment of pride and a statement of our identity.”
Talnua, a fusion of the Irish words talamh (land) and nua (new), continues to chart new territory as the first distillery outside of Ireland fully dedicated to the exploration of single pot still whiskey. Distilled from a mash of malted and unmalted barley in traditional copper pot stills, and aged in new charred American white oak, this Bottled-in-Bond expression exemplifies the balance of bold spice, rich malt character, and deep wood influence. It is a very rare moment in whiskey history that a new style of whiskey achieves Bottled-in-Bond status. Especially a style of whiskey with such a storied and time honored past.

More About Talnua Distillery
Talnua Distillery is an artisan small batch distillery that proudly hand crafts each of our spirits. Established in 2017, we embarked on a mission to define a new chapter of whiskey history with the introduction of our American Single Pot Still Whiskey.
True to gaelic-style distilling practices, and unique to the new world, our spirits are produced using a mashbill of un-malted and malted barley and triple distilled in copper pot stills. Located on the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the altitude, changing seasons, crystal clear mountain spring water, and local barley all lend a uniquely American terroir to our products.
We are honored to carry on the traditions of our Irish ancestry and are proud to be leading the way as America’s First Single Pot Still Distillery.
It all began with husband and wife team Patrick and Meagan Miller. In a Galway pub on their honeymoon, they sat watching the 2011 Ireland vs. USA Rugby World Cup Match. An eager bartender was thrilled to share with them the first single pot still whiskey to be released in decades. He regaled them with the history of this nearly extinct style of whiskey and with the passion that one day, single pot still would regain its rightful place on the world stage. The love affair was instant, and the couples’ passion was forever ingrained in the story of single pot still whiskey.
With family history rooted in Irish ancestry, the couple returned to Ireland every year and knew that single pot still whiskey would forever be a part of their story. Knowing that single pot still whiskey was not yet available in the US they set out to create the first Single Pot Still distillery outside of Ireland. They wanted to bring this style of whiskey to America and imbue it with the nation's terroir while honoring Gaelic distilling traditions, the immigrant soul, and the pioneering spirit of the American people.
Our whiskeys and gins are produced using Single Pot Still distillation methods with a mashbill of 50% un-malted / 50% malted barley and triple distilled in copper pot stills. We age in the finest oak casks to mature every drop. For more information on Talnua Distillery, please visit www.talnua.com, www.facebook.com/TalnuaDistillery, or www.instagram.com/talnuadistillery
