This bottling of a 25-year-old Talisker was bottled at cask strength in 2004 as a Diageo Special Release. The whisky was matured in refill sherry casks and was not chill-filtered.
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.
