Talnua Olde Saint's Keep (2022 Release), 50%

Price: 100 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Miscellaneous


This was aged in bourbon and port casks, blended, and finished for 10 months in Pineau des Charentes casks. Mixed red berries, damson jam, clove, peppercorn, ginger root, baked orange, blueberry granola bar, new leather, and tobacco leaf. Mouth-drawing, with strawberry, intense pepper and clove spices, and underlying maltiness. The texture thickens with more concentrated blue fruit, before a final phase of menthol, mint, tobacco, and apple. (Colorado only)
