Talisker Distillery, Isle of Skye
Talisker is one of
the most remote distilleries, lodged far from any neighbour in the small
coastal community of Carbost at the head of Loch Harport.
It was in 1825 that Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill came here from the smaller island of Eigg, first to bring sheep to Skye, leasing Macleod land at Carbost. They built Talisker Distillery in 1830 against the fiery protestations of the former parish Minister, the Rev. Roderick Macleod, who declared this "one of the greatest curses that... could befall it or any other place”. Disaster struck the distillery in November 1960, which was then still coal-fired, when fire burned down the still-room. The distillery was rebuilt fastidiously around exact copies of the old stills.
Today, Talisker is one of the single malts in Diageo’s portfolio since 1988. A great deal is marketed as single malt, but Talisker is a part of the Johnnie Walker and White Horse blends too.

Talisker Distillers Editions has been double-matured in a second cask after the original maturation period (in this case in an Amoroso Sherry cask). The experience is older, sweeter and richer than the regular bottlings. This Edition has a very special bitter-sweet harmony where the peat softens ... MORE | ||||

The Isle of Skye is home to one distillery, Talisker at Carbost overlooking Loch Harport. The whisky has a full peppery, sweet flavour with explosive intensity and a good dose of warming peat-smoke - a great dram on a cold day. | ||||
