Talnua celebrates launch of "The Acorn Project" philanthropic mission with first 6 year old, bottled-in-bond special release whiskey.
Press Release | Arvada, Colorado | September 19, 2024
​​
Talnua Distillery has had many things to celebrate over the years, but this October 5th, 2024 marks two distinct celebrations.
As a way to celebrate Co-Founder & Head Distiller, Patrick Miller’s, 40th birthday, Talnua is launching its philanthropic wing, aptly named “The Acorn Project: a Talnua Initiative.” The Acorn Project will focus Talnua’s philanthropic efforts on the natural resources that allow its whiskey and products to come to fruition. Learn more about The Acorn Project here.
The birthday party and Acorn Project launch will come with a special bottle release. “This single barrel was the 100th barrel filled at Talnua and will be our oldest whiskey release to date. It is a 6 year old Bottled-in-Bond single barrel,” says Miller. “Not only are we proud to release this limited whiskey, we are elated to launch The Acorn Project to support our friends and grain suppliers at Root Shoot Malting / Olander Farms.”
Olander Farms will be the first benefactors of the funds raised through The Acorn Project. Olander Farms is a family owned farm out of Loveland, CO focused on regenerative farming, land conservation, and a truly local supply chain.
Recently, the family farm endured a hail storm that destroyed over 500 acres of crops.
The October 5th celebration will consist of music from local bands, a special pop-up menu from Stone Cellar Bistro, Trinity mobile cigar lounge, a pipe and drum band, and many specialty cocktails and whiskey drams. This event is for 21+ individuals.

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
