Talisker

Founded in 1830, Talisker is a distillery located in Carbost, on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It is the only whisky distillery present on this island. After a difficult start due to successive bankruptcies, it was bought in 1925 by a group of assemblers, Distillers Company Ltd. This new owner broke free from the local tradition of triple distillation in 1928 to replace it with the more usual double distillation.

In November 1960, a fire destroyed the still room; the distillery was rebuilt retaining some elements of traditional distillation: wooden washbacks, as well as a system of condensers located outside the buildings (one of the few things that survived the fire). These serpentine-shaped condensers, immersed in wooden vats, allow a slower and more regular cooling of the alcohol vapors and play an important role in the oily character of the Talisker.

Today, the Talisker whisky distillery belongs to the Diageo company and is part of the Classic Malts line of spirits. In 2007, a special 12-year-old Talisker edition was put on the market, initially reserved for "Friends of Classic Malts". This single malt is also used for Johnnie Walker Green Label, White Horse and Drambuie liqueur blends.
