The story of Talisker 10YO

Talisker is a distillery at Carbost on the Isle of Skye, on the shores of Loch Harport. It was opened in 1830 by the MacAskill brothers, Hugh and Kenneth. After a fire in 1960 destroyed the still house, it reopened in 1962 with replicas of its five copper pot stills. Diageo owns it today, and in 1989 Talisker was chosen to represent the Islands in the Classic Malts range.

The ten year old is matured mainly in ex-American whiskey hogsheads and bottled at 45.8 per cent. The stills use worm tubs rather than modern condensers, and the malt is peated to a medium level. In the glass it is clear golden amber, with smoke, sea salt and green apple, a touch of sweetness and a long finish of smoky malt and cracked black pepper.

Robert Louis Stevenson praised Talisker in a poem in 1880. Pour it neat, and if you want to open it up, add a few drops of water. It is also a good after dinner dram.
