Toasted casks give this Talisker Skye pre-2021 a softer, sweeter, and fruitier flavour. In contrast, the 10-year-old expression relies on deep aging.
The sea shapes Talisker right where workers distil it. Every single sip delivers the true taste of Skye. The rugged, unforgettable landscape directly shapes the spirit. Drinkers worldwide love Talisker for its smoky maritime character and signature peppery kick.
The story begins in 1830. Brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill founded the Talisker Distillery in Carbost. They chose the wild shores of the Isle of Skye. For nearly two centuries, Talisker has captured the wild spirit of its birthplace. The whisky inspires lovers of fine spirits to experience the elemental beauty of Skye
