The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1830 by brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, Talisker Distillery overcame early financial struggles and remote island logistics to become one of Scotland's most iconic distilleries. Its smoky, peated profile was famously praised by Robert Louis Stevenson as 'the king o' drinks', and it remains a cornerstone of classic peated single malts.

How it is made

Talisker is the oldest working distillery on the Isle of Skye, perched on the shores of Loch Harport since 1830. Its unique five-pot-still setup and traditional worm tubs contribute to the heavy, oil-rich coastal style of spirit it produces.
