This bottling of a Talisker single malt as an original distillery bottling without an age statement was specially produced for the travel retail market. The whisky matured in heavily charred casks and was bottled in 2014.
The distillery was built on the shores of Loch Harport in 1831 by the brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill. The name is derived from the Talisker House estate, which lies a few miles to the west in the mountains. It has had many owners in the past, was partly destroyed in a fire in 1960, rebuilt true to the original in 1962 and now belongs to Diageo.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
