Talnua Distillery has had many things to celebrate over the years, but this October 5, 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.
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.
