Talisker

Talisker stands as a testament to the rugged beauty and whisky-making tradition of the Isle of Skye. Founded in 1830, this distillery is the oldest working distillery on the island and its whiskies are celebrated worldwide for their distinctive maritime influence, smoky intensity, and signature peppery spice. From its dramatic coastal setting to its time-honored distillation process, Talisker captures the essence of its unique terroir in every sip.

The story of Talisker is inextricably linked to the wild and beautiful Isle of Skye. Founded by the MacAskill brothers in 1830, the distillery has weathered storms, ownership changes, and the relentless elements of its coastal location.

The sea, the wind, and the rugged landscape are not just backdrops; they are integral to the very soul of Talisker whisky.
