A few miles away from the west coast of the Highlands sits the Isle of Skye, with its rugged coastline and windswept peat lands.


The small coastal town of Carboast, on the shores of Loch Harport and on the foothills of the Cuillins,  is nestled in a region battered by the winds and sea breeze, Talisker. This is where the only one distillery of the island chose to settle – one of the most prestigious and isolated of all.


Back in 1825, Hugh and Kenneth Mac Askill decided to establish themselves on the Isle of Skye. They quickly grew fond of their adoptive region, and rented a plot in Carbost to build, in 1830, the Talisker distillery. Laden with salt, lava and peat, the distillery bottles exceptional Single Malts, known for their spicy, powerful character.


Because of the unique character and quality of Talisker whiskies, the distillery features in the Classic Malts Selection. Created more than 20 years ago, this selection recognises Single Malts crafted in the tradition of iconic distilleries, and offers the most impressive whisky styles Scotland has to offer.

Colour: deep and shiny gold.

Nose: sweet, maritime with light pungent spices, the first impression suggests a bonfire on a dry seaweed beach, then deep notes of maritime salinity take over.

Mouth: oily texture, while the taste is sweet and smoky-spicy, with a distinct fruity touch, which evokes an orchard seen through smoke and sea mist. A nice salty balance that leads to a powerful pepper.

Finish: long, sustained and slightly smoky, with lingering warming spices.
