The Talisker distillery is the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, where it was built in 1831 by the brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill. This makes it part of the Scottish whiskey region of the Islands. The whiskey impresses with its expressive peatiness and its pleasant salty tone. This whiskey matured for 18 years in selected sherry and ex-bourbon casks, which give it its unique and complex aroma.
