I have been looking forward to getting my hands on Talnua Bottled-in-Bond. Bottled at 100 proof and priced at $150, it promises 4 years of maturation and genuine character.
Nose
Medium body with a golden-wheat hue. What a ride! A high quality sipper with a fun twist; the nose suggests classic, right down the middle bourbon but its almost all Irish on the palate. Quantities are very limited, but if you come across this juice I have a hard time believing youd regret giving it a try. In my review of Talnuas core range of pot still whiskeys I stated that I was becoming a fan of theirs, after tasting the BiB Im looking to buy a jersey!

The Bottom Line
Talnua Bottled-in-Bond is outstanding — one of those bottles that reminds you why you fell in love with whiskey in the first place. If you see it at $150, do not hesitate. This one earns a permanent spot on the shelf.
