More about Talisker
The only distillery on the Isle of Skye, on the shores of Loch Harport, Scotland. Talisker, is known as 'Talasgair' in theScottish Gaelic language.
There is no doubt that its isolation must have posed problems...
Double matured in port casks, this malt is a toast to the Scottish traders who braved the high seas and were instrumental in the foundation of the port wine trade. The port finish combines Talisker’s powerful maritime character with succulent sweet notes of rich berry fruits for a superb taste experience.

The only distillery on the Isle of Skye, on the shores of Loch Harport, Scotland. Talisker, is known as 'Talasgair' in theScottish Gaelic language.
There is no doubt that its isolation must have posed problems in 1830 for its founders when it was necessary to transport the barrels by boat to the mainland. Nowadays lorries can access the Island to make transport easier.
In 1916 Talisker was taken over by a consortium which included John Walker & Sons and John Dewar & Sons (and Talisker has Benn a key constituent in Johnnie Walker Black label ever since). In 1925, the consortium became Distillers Company, on of the ancestor of Diageo, who now own this distillery.
In 1960, a serious fire destroyed almost all of the distillery but the external condensers were spared.
In 1989, the successful 'Classic Malts' was launched and of course Talisker was a natural choice to represent the Islands alongside the other greats.
