THE BON VIVANT

An English Whiskey with a French Accent. Radiant, Refined & Golden By Nature.

The Bon Vivant is all about elegance with a wink. Finished in first-fill VSOP Cognac casks, it’s soft around the edges, full of warmth & effortlessly smooth. With aromas of ripe fig & French vanilla, layered with moreish, patisserie-like flavours, it lingers - just enough to keep you wanting more.

This is the whiskey you reach for when the light is golden, the playlist is mellow & the conversation runs deep. It’s not flashy. Just quietly confident. 

Aged 8 Years | Natural Colour | Non-Chill Filtered

Why TALU?

The best moments don’t rush. They unfold - sip by sip, story by story. That’s TALU. Born from passion & carried forward with curiosity, TALU is unapologetically English & unafraid to carve its own path. Every drop is time distilled.

What makes TALU different? An unhurried, flavour-first approach built on patience, provenance, and fearless innovation. Crafted to be approachable for new whiskey drinkers, yet layered and conversation-worthy for seasoned sippers.

This isn’t whiskey for shelves - it’s an invitation to sip slow, lean in & share freely.

So, pour it in, pass it on, & savour the moment.

TALU - Time, made yours.
 

Crafted With Culture

Rooted in English fields and forged with flavour, each TALU expression is a deliberate act of creation — a soul shaped by extraordinary wood and unhurried craft.

Our rye, barley and maize whiskey begins life in level four charred American white oak barrels, building sweetness and depth before resting in first-fill VSOP Cognac hogshead casks. The result is a whiskey of refined richness and satin-smooth character — where our sweet and nutty mash bill meets the opulent warmth of French oak and fruit.

    WHY PICK ME?

    Silky legs drip slowly down the glass & the first sip is as moreish as the last. We love this versatile whiskey. From being a spectacular introductory whiskey for those looking to find their first favourite dram to those more seasoned, thoughtful sippers who love to identify flavour & aroma. It also complements cocktails deliciously. We may think this whiskey is best sipped during a golden sunset, the truth is The Bon Vivant is great company – always.

    SPIRIT OF THE CASK

    From charred American white oak barrels, to first-fill VSOP Cognac hogshead casks, this expression is refined, rich & unmistakably smooth. Our rye, barley & maize mash bill is elevated by Cognac’s elegance, revealing aromas of ripe fig & French vanilla, followed by layers of toffee, pistachio, & honeycomb. A slow-sipping pour with a graceful finish.
Radiant & Composed

THE BON VIVANT

Defined by charisma — a love of flavour, conversation, and the rituals that turn ordinary moments into memorable ones.

It reflects someone naturally drawn to experience. Curious, expressive, and effortlessly social. The one who lingers longest at the table, orders another bottle for everyone, and understands that indulgence is best shared.

In the glass, this personality is expressed through richness, elegance, and layered warmth. The influence of first-fill VSOP Cognac casks brings notes of ripe orchard fruit, soft spice, caramelised sweetness, and velvet-like depth, while the whiskey’s English foundation provides balance and structure beneath the opulence.

The result is generous, refined, and deeply inviting.

The connection feels immediate.
The Bon Vivant doesn’t simply enjoy the moment — it elevates it.
