TALLISKER

A legendary whisky from the Isle of Skye, Tallisker has been at the forefront of the Scotch whisky industry since the distillery’s foundation in 1830. Produced at the same facility ever since, the brand focuses on its rugged seaside location and its unique heritage as one of the most iconic makers in the highlands and islands. Known for its peaty tones, using spring water sourced from its immediate vicinity, Tallisker has often been touted as the greatest whisky in the world with famous patron Robert Louis Stevenson suggesting it may even be the “king o’ drinks”. The brand today sits within the Diageo portfolio and produces a range of aged single malt whisky, with various cask varieties to meet the preferences of the most discerning of palates.
