More about Talisker

Looking out over the breathtaking scenery of the Cuillin Hills, Talisker Distillery stands proudly by the sea on the shores of Loch Carport. As the oldest working distillery on the Isle of Skye by almost 200 years, it has been an integral part of island life and history since 1830.

The distillery

Situated on the shores of Loch Harport, with spectacular views of the Cuillins, Talisker is the oldest operating distillery on the Isle of Skye. This creates a seductively sweet and full-bodied single malt that most pleasantly embodies the natural and wild character of its home island.

Talisker x Parley

United by their shared love for the oceans, Talisker and Parley have been on a mission since 2020 to protect and preserve marine ecosystems globally, including three key projects in Chile, South Africa & Scotland. Talisker’s attention to ocean health also extends to funds raised for the mission through several limited edition whiskies.

Initiatives to protect the ocean

Talisker and Parley are supporting ground-breaking scientific research in the remote Orkney Islands in Scotland by partners Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Heriot-Watt University and Blue Marine Foundation that demonstrates the vital role of sea forests in preventing climate change. The findings will help better understand where the carbon sequestered by these kelp forests goes and prove their contribution to the biodiversity of local marine ecosystems.

Made by the sea

“Since 1830, Talisker has always kept skye at the heart of our brand—and our whisky.”

In 1825, the MacAskill brothers arrived on Skye from the nearby smaller Scottish island of Eigg. After several false starts, in 1830 they opened Talisker distillery at Carbost,

where it remained the only distillery on the island for nearly two centuries. Through upheaval, changes of ownership, and even a fire, Talisker has always kept Skye at the heart of the brand—and the whisky.
