Welcome to Talisker, one of the most remote distilleries in the world. We can be found on the rugged western shores of the Isle of Skye, at the head of Loch Harport, in the small village community of Carbost. My name is Charlie Smith and I took over as manager here in August 2004. This is quite a change for me as the last distillery I managed was Glenkinchie, way down in the gentle rolling hills of Pencaitland, just outside Edinburgh. I don’t plan to make any alterations here – given the amount of awards TALISKER receives, why would you? My arrival does coincide with two changes though. The packaging of the whisky – but don’t worry, the contents of the bottle will still be the same gold medal winning 10 year old golden spirit. The second is a superb new age statement that will be bottled at 18 years old from September 2004. If you were here of course, I'd let you taste both, after a guided tour of the distillery. But you can take a quick look around the distillery yourself by clicking the virtual tour. Pictures and words are one thing, but you really need the taste and smell to complete the experience (both are available to buy in the shop!).
