    Talisker

    Situated on the Isle of Skye, Talisker was established in 1830 although illicit distilling was commonplace in this remote location. For many years it was the only distillery on the island, but this has changed in recent times. It remains a classic example of an island whisky and has a staunch fanbase in spite of some variable releases in recent times. As one of the Classic Malts from Diageo, its single malt presence is sizeable and with a recent rebrand and considerable investment in the site as a tourist attraction, we can expect even more Talisker. Featuring a strong maritime influence combined with peat, the distillery still uses worm tubs that are cooled by seawater. The site was the location of Scotland’s last great distillery fire in 1960, when a valve on the spirit still was not closed properly, prompting a massive rebuild that took 2 years.
