About TaliskerScotland
Talisker is at Carbost on the Minginish Peninsula of the Isle of Skye, and it is the oldest working distillery on the island. Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill founded it in 1830 and it opened at Carbost in 1831. The Distillers Company acquired it in 1925, and it is now owned by Diageo as one of its Classic Malts. A stillhouse fire destroyed the distillery and it was rebuilt in 1960 with five exact replicas of the original stills. Its malt is medium peated, and its limited releases include the yearly Diageo Special Releases, such as the 14 year old Talisker Molten Seas in 2025, and Distillery Exclusive bottlings sold at the distillery.
