Talog, Carmarthenshire
Talog is a small rural community in Carmarthenshire, located on the River Cywyn, about six miles north-west of the town of Carmarthen, Wales.
Talog was one of many west Wales communities involved in the Rebecca Riots of the early 19th century. A local miller, John Harries, was tried for his involvement in an ambush of the police and army pensioners at Talog, on 12 June 1843, after a reward of £300 had been offered for his capture. Sentenced along with him were two other local men, Thomas Thomas and Sam Brown.
The village store was originally set up in 1836 by Thomas Thomas, and incorporates a post office. Bethania Baptist Church was built in 1839. A First World War building, purchased from the War Department in Monmouth, was brought to the village and set up for use as a village hall in 1920.
Talog is the location of a gin distillery which claims to be the only dedicated gin distillery in Wales.
