Lewis Kennedy founded Talonmore in Edinburgh in 2020. His parents, Fraser and Julie Kennedy, joined as co-founders shortly after. Talonmore is family owned and the three of them run it. We’re not a distillery, and we’re not a fund.
Brewed. Most alcohol free spirits are made by distilling a traditional spirit and then stripping the alcohol back out. Talonmore is brewed with Scottish water and four plant ingredients, in small batches, at a SALSA certified production site in Edinburgh. There is no ethanol at any stage of the process, which is why we can put 0.0% ABV on the bottle.
Over 8 million adults in the UK are choosing to drink less. We made Talonmore for them, and for ourselves. We wanted the depth and warmth of a proper after dinner drink, without the alcohol.
Talonmore takes its name from the strength of an eagle and its touchpoint with the land’s natural ingredients. The eagle’s talon, the part that reaches down to the earth, became our mascot. It stands for power, freedom, and the link between sky and soil.
It’s our strap line, and it comes from the same idea as the name. Drinking less should never mean settling. It should mean choosing more carefully, and finding more interesting drinks along the way.
